| 28-4-2008 | The English language is exceptionally beautiful and complex ... but only when it is correctly spelt and parsed.
If a teacher cannot spell and write correctly, then he/she should be sent back to college ... end of story. | Nikki |

As in :
Q: "May I please to talk to someone about xxxxxxx?"

My sympathies! 18 years ago I had to pick my younger brother up from school one day. His class had done a project on creatures that live under the sea. One child had painted an octopus, and their teacher had written a caption to go with it: "An octopus has 8 tenticles&qu...more | David, teacher, life-long learning |
