A retired high school English teacher says a letter she received from President Trump would have barely earned passing marks, so she corrected the letter and sent it back to the White House.
Yvonne Mason, an Atlanta resident who retired this year after teaching middle and high school students in South Carolina for 17 years, corrected grammatical mistakes in the letter bearing Trump's signature, including 11 instances of improper capitalization of words like "president" and "state."
"If it had been written in middle school, I'd give it a C or C-plus," Mason told South Carolina's Greenville News. "If it had been written in high school, I'd give it a D."
She did not attach a letter grade in the letter she sent back to the White House.
Mason acknowledges the letter was likely written by a staffer. She received it after penning a letter requesting that Trump meet individually with the families who lost loved ones in the Feb. 14 high school shooting in Parkland, Fla.
"When you get letters from the highest level of government, you expect them to be at least mechanically correct," she told the newspaper.
"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.
The teacher said the White House response did not address her request specifically.

More like retired leftist who can’t accept that Hillary lost makes an ass of himself. What arrogant elite assholes
Imagine the number of former students she had who doesn’t know a noun from a hole in the ground.
Wow. She’s a mentally ill, petty b!tch.
How’s that punctuation?
'Nuff said.
Rule of 65: After 65, what english teachers want no longer matters
Those that can’t DO Teach ,LOL
Unless she’s like, 95 years old I would give her a pass.
But it doesn’t sound like it.
>>comparing Trump’s writing to the “exquisite” letters she’s received from South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R) office.
Well of course. Linda is a chick and chick like writing letters. Men write bullet points, usually with real bullets and points.
I bet she doesn’t even know what covfefe means. :-)
Yes, I know. I misspelled the word on purpose just to mess with you grammar Nazis.
Liberals are nothing if not condescending.
Even worse? Some young punk editor at the sHill thinks this is newsworthy.
If she’s so “smart” ... how come she’s not a billionaire like Trump?
It’s at the link...
Moronic academic twits who add next to noting to the world, but think the rest of us care at all what they think.
Just retired this year.
I wonder if she graded papers this strictly up until her last days of shaping young minds or singled out this administration for special treatment?
We know who didn’t read the article.
