1. I’m tired.
2. I have forty essays to grade before I can go to bed.
3. It’s almost 3 a.m.
4. They are not good essays.
5. They are, in fact, terrible essays.
6. Spell-check is not your friend. Spell-check is not anybody’s friend. Spell-check will stab you in the back and exit, laughing.
7. Repeat after me: “Anyways” is not a real word.
8. Commit this to memory: “Done” is not a helping verb. People who say things like “I done went” make baby angels cry.
9. Thank you, certain members of my Monday morning class, for those VERY kind e-mails.
10. People who have a bone to pick with someone, but who proceed to pick that bone with everyone EXCEPT the person involved, are cowards. Thass what I said.
11. Idioms are funky and fun.
Eleven is a cool number. Christopher Guest’s amp goes to eleven. Wizard kids go to Hogwarts when they’re eleven. I’ll just stop at eleven.
Except, of course, that I didn’t. Not really.
As a high school teacher, I apologize for any part I may have inadvertently played in the eventual production of those essays. Perhaps I was not forceful enough in reinforcing the conventions of grammar or of punctuation, but the school board forbade me from using a sledgehammer or even a red pen, since both were considered to be too harmful to students. Mea maxima culpa.
