He marked "this is not your word". I'd wager he's familiar with the article/source she copied the phrase from w/o citing it.

Trying to teach her a valuable lesson and she wants to cry.

Few people talk the way they write and there is a world of deference between the way they write informally, for example on Facebook or a chat room, and the way they would write a school paper.

A Bronx Latina is probably a Puerto Rican woman who is Americanized. Therefore, the word “hence” is not outside the realm of her vocabulary. Think of Jennifer Lopez using the word hence — totally believable.

I’m a Puerto Rican woman raised in Puerto Rico and I use “hence” all the time.

The funny part about this is that the professor is most likely a liberal jerk who just stereotyped this woman.
