Of course I don't 'dress up like a professor', nor do I pretend to be one.

It is a ficticious background, like in a role play.

The role I play is that of a professor, who had to write corrections for 
the homework of a student.

But a specific dress is not required.

The errors I find are all real, at least I meant my comments are about 
real errors.

The method is actually a tool for self-education and works quite good, 
while you apparently do not understand, how that method works.


The number of errors I found was just enormous, what came as a surprise 
for me. But that's a different story.
