Another sad thing is, I guess we’re footing the bill for her generous pension so she can mark up papers and think she’s a big deal.

Well, tell Miss Humble that in my humble opinion she is a conceited, condescending jackass, aka, NeverTrumper.

DUh Hill thinks this is news? LoL.


"OMG this is wrong!"

OMG Trump capitalized the word "Nations" in the letter!

That's some picky poop. LoL.

That letter looks fine to me! She is most likely angry that Donald Trump, and NOT a criminal alcoholic lesbian, is OUR PRESIDENT!!!! :) !!!!!!

Just goes to emphasize the left has nuthin’.

Is this a separate edit from the one all over the web? I believe so. I think the other one I saw was the letter to KJU. That one, IMO, was a totally subjective editing job that had less to do with grammar and spelling than it did with the preferred locutions of the elitists. This leads me to conclude the progs are now reduced to nit-picking POTUS to death, like the vultures they wish they were. But they aren’t vultures. Vultures prefer carrion and POTUS is alive, well and kicking @ss. They are gnats. An annoyance. Ignore them.

What a miserable bunch.

Not really. There is no other way to state it unless you do

I did the following: 1. 2. 3.

She's the typical teacher who is always right.

Teacher strikes me as a sore loser democrat who was unable or unwilling to appreciate a personal letter from POTUS. Teacher must not realize that many Americans communicate at a 3rd grade level, and POTUS communicates with them at THEIR level. That’s how he won. And SHE is a pompous, stuffy snot!

Those comments are opinionated and ignorant.

She claims that the phrase, “I Signed into law”, should include a “specific agency”.

Once again, proof that liberals are uneducated idiots.

“I wonder if she graded papers this strictly up until her last days of shaping young minds “


Answer is definitely NO. A petty and disrespectful leftist like her is more for dumbing down and brainwashing kids than giving them basic skill in writing and calculus. If she really graded her students like she claims, she would have been booted out of schools by the marxist-pedagogist mafia long ago. Hypocrisy is a core value of the left.

The letter was written by a low level aide, an Obama holdover.

I’m also a retired English (as a second language) teacher. She taught for only 17 years while I taught for nearly twice as long.

While I agree with a few of her corrections, only in capitalization, the rest of her criticisms are BS. Styles she doesn’t like are not wrong, and she “corrects” other usages that are just fine.

I would venture that most of her students who went on to college either didn’t do well in freshman English, or they had to take a remedial class.

“retired this year after teaching middle and high school students in South Carolina for 17 years”

17 years? Wiish I had a job like that. Must be a union.

I looked at the letter,

Where can we see the letter with corrections?

Judging by his tweets, I wouldn’t be surprised if he wrote it, rather than an underling. He does have a habit of capitalizing things in ways that seem random, like William Washington’s letter I posted above.
Or George’s message below:

“Notwithstanding the discouraging Accounts I have received from Col: Reed of what might be expected from the Operations below, I am determined, as the night is favourable, to cross the River, & make the attack upon Trenton in the Morning. If you can do nothing real, at least create as great a diversion as possible.”

Perhaps he should hire an English teacher to write his letters if he can find a conservative one.
