are simply differences of opinion on grammar or word usage

And many are simple ignorance. For instance we capitalized proper names. Titles are proper names when they are the referent to a specific individual who is known by that title. You might say I am president of my PTA since no one calls you exclusively President in that position. But President is the name of a specific person - DJT - properly called by this title and not by some other proper name, say, Trump, or Don. It's like the crown, a thing worn by the Queen and the Crown, the proper noun denoting the Queen in her capacity as head of state.

Yes, I know. I misspelled the word on purpose just to mess with you grammar Nazis.

You blew it dood or doodess!
That wasn't a misspelling, that was a faked typo

All I want to know, is which FReeper grammar patrol officer it is

It’s their life mission to show superiority no matter who it is.

Get a life folks. The rest of us may be imperfect, but at least we recognize it, and can live with others accepting auto correct and other misques will happen.

“It’s stylistically appalling,” she added, comparing Trump’s writing to the “exquisite” letters she’s received from South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R) office.

...

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a setup from the fag himself.

The White House almost certainly has a style book and the same 'mistakes' show up in past White House letters.

Photo of a letter from Obama where he capitalizes 'Nation'.

Well kids, let this be a lesson to you. You can be like the billionaire real estate developer who is leader of the free world with a beautiful family, or you can be like the petty teacher who lives with a dozen cats.

I’m sure not-president Hillary has perfect grammar.

We'll never know.

The language changes over time. I’m sure whatever letter she would write would be judged just as harshly by a teacher of 1900, or 1850. However, it’s unlikely President Trump wrote it, read it, or signed it.

I assume you all know that this teacher posts on Free Republic. I can’t remember the screen name, I think it is Humble- something or other. Small world, isn’t it?

Are you talking about mumblegummer? ☺

Do share, so we can all have fun.

We have from another post, Ben Shapiro's 10 rules for dealing with leftists

This teacher is guilty of the typical leftists debating tactics that Ben educates us on. She assumes a rightness of the argument, clouds herself in moral superiority and tries to put us on the defensive - jeeze, you support Trump and he can't even pass 3rd grade English.

No sane person would go around attempting to demonstrate intellectual superiority or superior command of a field of knowledge. It is unwarranted egotism and demonstrates ignorance that on any subject their are many of our fellow humans who know far more about it that you possibly could.

The democrats probably pay her better than the school from which she retired. Paid protesters make a fair wage creating nasty ways to attack our President.
