Code Red

In the medical field, the term Code Red


indicates fire or smoke in the hospital. In the
American vernacular school, Code Red means
there is an imminent danger and protective
action is needed.

However, in your English class with me, Code


Red is a marking method that I would use when
highlighting the most major and horrendous
disaster that could ever happen in an English
class, which is your grammar error when writing
an essay.
Behold, the red coloured codes that you
might see in your essay, if Grammatical “crime”
is committed
