I understand completely. You guys are doing everything Dr. C would do. I just have to learn to be careful with what I am writing/typing because I make, according to my math teacher, stupid mistakes.

I hate it when teachers say a mistake is stupid. They're never stupid because we learn from them. If you're learning a lesson you'll keep with you, it sure isn't stupid

There was recently a case in the news where a teacher was writing "Stupid!" on a seven-year-old girl's papers. I think he might have argued that he meant, "THAT'S stupid," rather than "YOU'RE stupid." But that's the way she took it. Her mother, of course, was none too pleased. I'm not sure what ended up happening but I have a sneaky feeling that the Administration ended up being VERY willing to be helpful towards the teacher. For example, in getting a copy of Resume Expert for him to use, finding boxes to use when he cleans out his desk, scheduling exit interviews... By the way, I once had a substitute teacher when I was ten or so who said something to me like "just go sit down, you snot-nosed kid!" (I hadn't been "misbehaving" or anything, either.) Nobody made a federal case of it but just the same, pretty much all of the parents were certainly "made aware of " it.

(I get confused about when to use them sometimes, and; it would be helpful to have some input about things like semi-colons; clauses, when to use them and when not to; etc. )

Th correct usage of "affect" and effect", please. I usually use the word "impact" to be on the safe side.

Secondly, affect means you were personally affected by something. Thirdly, effect means someting done was effective. Examples: I was so thrilled about Grandma's health being good. Her situation really affects on me because I'm usually the one who has to take care of her. I was so thrilled about Grandma's health being good. The Doctor care she has received has been very effective. |

People can also remember that affect is almost always used as a verb, whereas effect is almost always used as a noun.

I liked my way of teaching this lesson better only because I'm not good at verbs and adjectives et al. I only know that a noun is a person. place or thing. The rest of them I'll never remember even if my life depended on it.

I found this rather surprising video of Stephen Fry a moment ago. http://www.gnu.org/fry/
(This is bound to get some rolled eyes from some people who know me... )

this is the funniest thing i've read in a while... (JTIS...I'm easily amused)
ask jana from Hanna in Filipstad, Sweden JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU SOOO VERY MUCH FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION!!!! And just wanted to remind you that we have actually chatted on myspace Like a year ago I asked you there if Fleetwood Mac would come to Sweden and you didn't know, but they did! I really want Stevie to hear my music so if there's any chance you can show her, I'll appreciate more than soooooooooo much!!!!! I'm your friend there Love, /Hanna, again Hi Hanna. Sorry we never know where we’re touring until the last minute. I’m happy to answer your questions. I’m happy to chat on myspace or facebook now when I have time. I go to facebook more often latey. I’m due to add a lot to my journal page on www.myspace.com/janaandersonmusic, right?! My dear, we all want Stevie to hear our music. There are legal reasons she can’t listen to music sometimes. I don’t even bother her with my music, truth be told. I have never even asked her if she listened to my CD. It’s just not possible when she’s so busy. She has a lot on her plate and so I would appreciate if you stop asking because being that I love helping people, it just makes me feel bad to always have to tell you no over and over. Does that make sense? I’m not Stevie’s personal assistant and am not able to take care of business for her. I work for her and she is a good friend and boss and we have had some beautiful, personal moments at her house and at dinner. However, it’s not appropriate for me to be a ‘go to’ person for business. I say this with love. Now if I don’t go to her and ask her for help with my own career, you know I’m being sincere. God bless you and your dreams.
