Hee hee, I found that out when one of my class mates told our teacher during speech practice:
Я кончила в школе и ... (I can't remember what the rest of the setence was).
Regardless, the male teacher running the show that day did a double take, and then politely explained that she should've used the reflexive form, and why *giggles*
Geezies, keep stuff like that coming! I love dredging up silly memories from class!
hm... how hard it is sometimes... :)... to explane the sex meaning of КОНЧИЛА and to insist on usage of ЗАКОНЧИЛА instead of it... in spite of ALL Russian textbooks of RFL, not noticing this new, not slang, but colloquial meaning of КОНЧИТЬ/КОНЧАТЬ ... excuse my Runglish :)
