Spherical Aberration

My physics teacher today defined a spherical surface (with respect to refraction) as:
"A Spherical surface is a surface portion of a sphere of which the given surface forms a part.

I count : 2 references to the word sphere, 3 references to surface and 2 to part or portion.

She has basically defined the phrase by repeating the phrase twice over

To cap it all off, she makes her final remark...

"This is what the board will accept. If you do not write this, the examiners will look at their key and see that it is not there and will strike it off and give you zero."

I feel sorry for the examiners.

If she was horrible the first time she had said it in class, she was worse when Akshay asked her to repeat what she had said. And it's hard to keep a straight face even knowing that she's staring at you.

That's a total of six repetitions of the same #@!?, which only the board would accept.

She hasn't changed a bit. Apparently old habits die hard.
