My Computer Science teacher has no grammatical skills. She can't type to save her life either. This annoys me to no end. "Why?" you may ask. Well, it's because this class is an online class... and I have to read everything that she types to us. I don't get to hear her talk, but instead I get to read mess like this...

Research the web and other sources for voice recongnition software. Write up your findings and tell me if the software will do the following exists (what? I am confused as to what she means here), and if so, what the reviewers say about those packages that are available? (this question mark is not necessary) Sfftware (no ma'am) should be able to: Speak into a microphone attached to my PC, (not necessary) and Have (hmm... a capital letter in the middle of a sentence...) the software generate a text file of what I say. I'm willing to teach the software my voice by vocalizing words of its preference. I'd like it to place punctuation marks, e.g. periods, quotes, when I say the word period, for example. (this should probably be followed by a colon, not a period) I'd like it to begin sentences with a capital letter. I'd like it to insert a specific word, e.g. Moses, whenever it cannot understand what I say. I'd like to substitute speech from a CD or tape for my voice. (all of this could have been listed a lot more clearly) You should answer these questions in your write up and make a recomendation (this word should have two letter m's) based on your findings. Tell why you recomend (once again, "recommend") this software package. Do a spreed (is that the past tense of the verb spree? Now, wait a minute... spree isn't a verb!) sheet to compare your findings alone (an honest typo? We'll give her the benefit of the doubt) with your write up.

But wait... This is the best one: Project #1 You’re Web Site. I AM NOT A WEBSITE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! And even if I was, I would need some sort of article or posessive pronoun there between the "you're"
and the "web."

I'm sorry... I know that is nit-picky, but I just expect more from a lady who is a teacher. I really think that this pet peeve comes from my mom... She used to correct us when we said things like, "I did good on my test," and she always corrected my papers in high school as well as my dad's doctoral dissertation. Just the other day, she and I reprimanded my cousin for incorrect usage of the word perpetrate. I'm sorry for poking fun at my teacher, but I hold myself to the same criticism. I hate sounding and typing grammatically incorrect... it leaves doors open for people to pick at you!

(if this post is messed up, it is because of this dumb new rich text that Blogger has implemented... it is making my posts look as ridiculous as messages from my comp sci teacher)
