The Senseless Slaughter of the English Language


I just graded the writing finals for the third level the University.

"I went home and sleeped for 9 hours."

"It taked a long time."

And the Arabic students always mix up P and B. Ugh! There's not enough whiskey in the whole of Ireland to make this less painful. They do okay with reading comp., but the writing is just scary. I'm going to have nightmares about this. But they have made progress in the past 4 weeks.

Fairfield University said all the students at the beach have been displaced and are asking for families that can house them. They said it will be at least 4 - 8 weeks. Yikes. Scary stuff. 

Music to keep the slaughter of the English language to minimum;

The Night Watch - King Crimson
Arriving Somewhere - Porcupine Tree
