Oh, well, your point makes your sense now. As for pitiful writing, what else is new? I have a friend and an article was written about him in Forbes Magazine - he said he was embarrassed b/c it was so poorly written. When I read it, I was aghast that this person would be hired at a major magazine - I then forwarded it on to a friend who does free-lance commercial writing and she, too, was aghast.
And while I’m on my soapbox, let me share this with you. I am in college (career change) to become a teacher. These students will get up to speak and have the worst grammar and speaking skills, saying things like “fer” instead of “for” and “cuz” instead of “because” and so on and so on. While I have no problem with colloquialisms and homey talk, I can just picture them modeling this awful behavior to our public school students. I literally could scream!!!
“I am in college (career change) to become a teacher.”
You are either a saint or a glutton for punishment for wanting to be a teacher. I admire your determination for pursuing your goal. I wouldn’t mind being a teacher but I might have to kill a couple of kids in the process. The behavior problems, the “no child left behind” and the bogus self esteem crap is just too much to take. Good luck to you! I wish you well!
