RTFQ? Is this a normal teacher comment?

DD got this on her exam paper today, apparently the teacher uses it a lot. I know it could also mean "read the full question", but I was a bit surprised.

Sounds like a fairly harmless bit of double entendre - a bit like RTFM (Read the fine manual).

Given that I'm regularly tempted to annotate essays with the comment 'WTF?' I think it's quite measured and useful!

I teach undergrads, but we have a list of diacritical comments to speed up marking on screen - so although I might sometimes get lengthy and write 'yes! this is a really interesting point, but I wonder whether you could have engaged slightly more closely with the critical text you have cited above?' it is also handy to just put 'p.v.!' sometimes.

I would assume fucking.

That's an odd sentence to have to write.

I use to write "churn" a lot
because they churned out everything they knew rather than answering the question
