Back in 1980, I was a 10-year old Cebuano Grade 4 new student in a Manila school, trying so hard to figure out my Pilipino assignment that said: “Ano ang ibig sabihin ng giting at magbigay ng halimbawa.” I had to run to my eldest sister for help. Coming from her, I wrote this: "Ang ibig sabihin ng giting ay katapangan. Halimbawa: Andres Bonifacio." The next day, I confidently submitted my homework to my teacher who wrote on the board again “Ano ang ibig sabihin ng gitling?”
Ouch!
