Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Or, if IDK is anathema, then FYI and OK should be banished as well.
Also this.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Actually, I think asking for clever answers opens the door to the student and you should be more lenient.
I'd mark that one question wrong, and make a point in class that text speak is verboten.
I don't think you can flunk the whole quiz after you've asked for clever responses when you don't know the answer.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Besides, "IDK" barely qualifies as text-speak.
And maybe she was using it ironically! My friends use IDK occasionally, as in "IDK, my BFF Jill?"

Because books.
FYI is an accepted abbreviation in Webster's 10th Edition.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd totally expect to get busted for FYI in a school assignment too. I can't imagine it being appropriate. I'd also expect OK to be corrected to okay.

Has everybody seen the spider silk fabric?
It has amazing properties but takes a million spiders and four years to make.
Clearly we need to make really enormous spiders to take advantage of their silk. Surely nothing could go wrong with Giant Spider Exploitation.
