If you can’t figure out the correct pronouns good luck teaching composition.

Its that there are so many damn pronouns these days.

My daughter is a grad student and I was talking to one of her friends. The friend is a grad assistant, teaching some 100 level intro courses. She had a student in tears because “it” was a “they”.

I could never survive in academia.

When people say and, that's where I am at it drives me nuts! I learned in the 2nd grade NEVER end a sentence with a preposition.

I hear highly educated people speak like this all the time.
