Ever subtly referenced Coldplay in any of your assignments? What did the teacher say, if anything? I just snuck "questions of science and progress" in an anthropology paper haha :P

:D :DLOL, yes!!!! yes!!! actually in college I had a subject called "Language and Written Expression", which consisted of Discourse analysis, grammar, and of course writing (in English, which is not my first language) and in the third level we were asked to write stories,among other things like reports, reviews and different types of essays. the point was that the stories had to be original and you couldn't use just common and simple language ( e.g. she went to the bedroom, she was sad, etc) you had to be "creative" or you would fail. In the composition part of the first mid-term exam I included various phrases/words from Coldplay lyrics. I don't remember all of them since it was back in 2007, but I do remember using "tears stream down your face" from Fix You, adapted "tears streamed down their faces" to fit my story. :D:D I passed my exam with a more than a decent mark ( thanks Chris;) ):laugh3:

An author is named Will.

 

MUST BE COINCIDENCE!

I had once a 8 pages article to write about an asian movie, a biopic of a famous painter. All my second part was about the fact that the main character started to put colors, in particularly red, in his paintings with the discovering of sexuality.

 

So I entitled : "PART II - LIFE IN TECHNICOLOR" :P

I don't know what he thought about it, but I had a very good appreciation :)

I actually included Coldplay to give an example of PR techniques via web. It was about online PR and I just put a little bit of Coldplay.

Got a good mark on that project, so.... :D

There was a slideshow in my class two years ago, with music all by Coldplay. Also, we leanred about sound waves so I heard "crests of waves" and "speed of sound" mentioned quite a bit. "Bloodless revolution" was a common phrase in history while learning about Britain. 42 popped up a lot in math, and "Don't panic" was used quite a bit by my softball team's coach during our season :lol:

I think I have so many times. :freak:

 

On an unrelated but slightly related note, there was a picture of Chris Martin in my Social Studies textbook last year lololololz.

Whenever I have to write 'political', I write 'Politikal'. If I have to write 'prospect' I write 'Prospekt'. I've done these in a few assignments, usually going out of my way to make sure the sentence contains one of those but is still relevant to the topic. :D Usually my teachers just circle it and put a question mark next to it, but I still get great marks, so...

Why would you purposely lose yourself marks?

one year in French class we had to do projects about francophone countries, and i chose Martinique without even realizing that there may have been a reason i picked that out of the others. :P

I do this all the time! No one ever notices, though.

I had to write an entire 20 page paper on how the lyrics to a song were related to philosophical ideas throughout history, so of course I chose Coldplay! I did "Violet Hill" and aced the essay (the only person in that class to ever do so!!). So that wasn't my most subtle reference, but it was pretty awesome.

I used A Whisper as an example of repetition in song lyrics for a project we did. :cheesy:
