I’ve had teachers and professors, who were that petty. Was always glad to see the back end of them, and never have to take their classes again.

“I’ve had teachers and professors, who were that petty.”

I’ve heard them argue with one another on the ‘right way’ vs the ‘wrong way’...leading me to believe that - beyond the basics - maybe it depends on what the writer wants to convey.

Also, when I was in college, my business English course stressed less punctuation, as we were not writing a novel.

This is why public education is dying.

This is the Pretend World (taught for a billion years, retired from pretend-world where the things taught in school and the knowledge/skill needed in Real World are massively different) criticizing Real World again.

This woman created nothing. Nothing.

I work with PhD’s all day every day. Not one of them could do my dinky job.

They are clueless about detail, admin, etc.

AND not one of them can write a proper sentence with a subject and predicate. Their e mails are undecipherable.

They are barely literate and struggle to express themselves.
