Speaking of grammar: this morning, the broadcasting team (high schoolers) at the school where I work aired a video about tardies, helpfully labelled "Tardy's". I had to email the teacher in charge about it. I'm sure I'll be very popular with him now!
You wouldn't believe (or perhaps you would) the sloppy construction, incorrect grammar, and endless passive voice I have seen on emails from ENGLISH teachers. Don't even get me started on what happens when Math or Social Studies teachers put pen to paper!

Hey, you need to fight the good fight, Deb. Excellent work.

Having taught for 39 years, I would believe just about anything.
