gonzai | This Class May Be Short-Lived

My veterinary assistant class? We're supposed to do online work, mostly consisting of having discussions with each other on a (very poorly designed) discussion board. After 5 days, a whopping 2 of us bothered to post there, myself and the only other over-30 student. My 500 word post was rejected by the course instructor as unacceptable. Why? I used a word she believes doesn't exist. 'Sans'. Yes, she rejected one of two students who bothered doing the assignment because the student used a Latin word, correctly I might add.

I'm not feeling optimistic.
