A very

Karlgren-esque social experiment.

So if you don't know, I'm currently fairly annoyed with melbourne uni because for some reason they just had to screw my enrolment process over. Anyhow, because of that I decided to send them the following email, reproduced word for word below:

"Dude like, your system is not working because though I'm fairly certain
I put in the correct details as listed on my student portal, It keeps
telling me login is wrong. So like, can you please get it fixed asap?
Thanks a bunch."

I got this in return, also reproduced word for word:

"Dear Hansang,

As you have not provided sufficient information, I can only guess as to
what your problem is.

If you are having trouble logging in to the student portal, you may need
to reset your password. Please click on 'Student' in the following link
and follow the steps:

https://accounts.unimelb.edu.au/manage

If you are still experiencing difficulties after this time, please
contact Student IT by logging an incident:

http://www.studentit.unimelb.edu.au/help/log.html

Please remember to provide as much information you can in standard
English, as this will greatly assist us in rectifying your problem.

Kind Regards,

Patrick"

Notice the last paragraph. Anyway, thanks to you Patrick my man, I am no longer annoyed but rather thoroughly amused at the university. Just thought you might want to know.

I fixed it for you.

"Your system is not working. I know this because I put in the correct details as listed on my student portal and yet it tells me the login is wrong.

Can you please fix it?"
