Where did you find that sentence? It's very poorly written.What does the following sentence mean?
"5 years of latin did pay off, suck it, dad!"
[1]I've had ... teachers use the phrase 'It sucks.'
[2] 'Suck it' is a little more vulgar, as it can carry implications of ___ , although not always.
'Suck it' is a little more vulgar, as it can carry implications of fellatio, although not always.
***** NOT A TEACHER *****
[1] I have no doubt that, at least in my American city public (government-sponsored) schools, a teacher who said that would be asked to refrain. I have no doubt that some parents would be outraged if their children's teachers used such language on a regular basis.
[2] In my opinion, since international students come here for advice, I do believe that we should suggest that they avoid those words. Yes, I agree that they may hear it in the business world, but that does not mean that they should use it. Some learners who come from certain cultures would be shocked if they knew the literal meaning of those two words. Their innocent use of those words could adversely affect their success in the global economy.
In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether it's 1915 or 2015, most people lose a bit of respect for people (male and female) who regularly use coarse language.
Does the word "poorly" express the word "written"?Where did you find that sentence? It's very poorly written.
It sure does. ;-)While it's true that succinctness ...
By the way, if a child says "That sucks!" in a classroom, the teacher might think twice about his/her communications and interpersonal skills.

It is from the other computer forum.'Poorly' modifies 'written'. It means it's badly written; it contains a lot of mistakes.
Now, as I asked before, where did you find that sentence?
It is from the other computer forum.
Yes.What exactly is "the other computer forum"? A computer forum suggests a forum about computers.
