OMG you stuck your foot so far up your throat now it is funny. How does mid-shin taste? NOTHING in that link shows any sort of grammar fail on my part; it shows that you fail incontrovertibly. Moron. You said in your post "try graduating it"... let's replace your ambiguous use of "it" with the real direct object "school" so now the predicate phrase now reads "try graduating school". Your link has 3 examples:
1) "She graduated in 1990"
2) "This school graduates 2,000 students each year"
3) "graduate a cylinder"
Your sentence would have been correct with a prepositional phrase; "try graduating from it" would have made sense. The fact that example/definition 2 says "school graduates 2,000 students" works because the noun school is graduating, ie performing graduation ceremonies, students from its halls. However to say someone should graduate school makes no sense. You are missing a KEY prepositional phrase. Let me simplify for you with an accurate analogy: you would say, "I learned college" instead of the correct "I learned from college" whereas one can accurately say "College learned me", similar to example 2, but not "College learned from me". Prepositions matched with direct objects are very tricky, and I understand why you made the mistake. I am not condemning you, I just get annoyed when you cast the first grammar stone, and then when I shatter your house of fail, you try to come back and fail harder. People who live in glass houses should not throw rocks. I think in the interest of saving me time, and you face, that we stop this here.

Physicists are neckbeard elitist losers and science-rejects FYI. All other science branches hate you guys because you are the ones stuck in your shitty ivory domes of asperger tininess.

I agree, physicists are elitists to a certain extent. I myself hate the ivory tower physicist, and have had to deal with him/her (actually, rarely are women physicists annoying or super-elitist). I try to keep myself in check not to become one. However, all science branches do not hate us. Physicists are generally sought out for collaboration to help solve complex problems from experimental inception to completion. If other scientists hate us because they had problems with vectors and basic Physics I? Haters gonna hate! Oh well! I think people hate their physics teachers because a lot of physics teachers wholeheartedly believe in sink or swim in introductory physics, which a lot of whiny bitches cannot handle. I myself have seen both sides of the issue, and I think a coddling demeanor should be adopted for some people and not for others. This is why I have always liked schools calculus-based and non-calculus based physics approach.
I successfully steered this thread in the right direction
