lol yes that was funny but not in the spirit of things.
As far as thans and thats, an et ands, their they're and there I admit I may be too picky. Although I never finished my degree, life happened, I am only 12 credits out from my BA in English. I have been whittlin' that down when money is available though and I WILL get the BA and eventually an MA. But who cares.
Anyway, I had a creative writing teacher that once edited my poem, Pondering about the Whether.
For some ungodly reason she thought I was talking about weather. That made me mad to no end. I mean, seriously, she did not even read the poem. Everyone writes about pondering the weather. I took the road less travelled though and got penalized. hehe, this happened like 18 years ago and it still irks me to this day. If I were to think back of on all the truly good teachers and proffessors I would have to say that I only ever had maybe three that were worthy and that remains a pet peeve of mine today. I do not understand how some people can even get into the position of molding young minds when their own mids are lacking so much. Then, you read about how teachers want raises and more benefits and more job security. Don't get me wrong, I do believe it is one of the most important jobs around, but, that being said, I believe that there should be higher standards for the teachers themselves. Creativity is punished, mediocrity rewarded. Sad state of affairs indeed.
