How Many of You Are Better Writers Than My English Teacher

<p>Hopefully I'm a better writer...haha.</p>

<p>My english teacher is okay, I'm not really learning much though. Although the other day....he was subtracting numbers on the board and he started from the left instead of the right....o.o</p>

<p>every english teacher ive had has said he sucks at math and every math teacher ive had said he/she sucks at english.</p>

<p>bullet points like that do not NEED to have proper grammar, I doubt your teacher was even trying to make them gramattically correct.</p>

<p>The grammar sucks, but they are NOTES. If someone read my notes, they'd think that I was a brain-dead monkey.</p>

<p>damn, that's some serious grammar errors</p>

<p>what are you guys even talking about .. the only grammar error I really see is like point #3 and it's not even a big deal (were instead of was) .. and some points don't have punctuation but she probably wrote it out that way purposely as like a quick reminder .. my ap us teacer gave us notes like this all the time last year</p>

<p>Can someone point out which sentences have grammar error? Like it's worded off, but I don't see any specific errors?</p>

<p>In a quick glance I saw:
Sentence 3: No coma needed, "were" should be "was", Capitalization
Sentence 5: Parrelism error.
Sentence 8: No coma needed.
Sentence 9: Parrelsim, Passive Voice</p>

<p>There are probobly several more I would catch if I looked at it more
Also, almost every sentence could be phrased better.</p>

<p>Bill<em>h</em>pike,</p>

<p>Passive voice isn't necessarily grammatically "incorrect." It's just frowned upon. Like contractions in academic writing.</p>

<p>And seriously, you people are lame. I bet all of you have made serious grammatical errors in notes.</p>

<p>It is not the grammar, it is the writing style - seems like it is written to be read by elementary students.</p>

<p>Yes, I have made errors in my personal notes. But they were my eyes only. I couldn't write something that bad if I tried.</p>

<p>This is not atypical for my teacher. Her syllabus contained dozens of grammitical errors and was nearly incoherent. I doubt that she could write an SAT essay that would recieve more than a 6/12.</p>

<p>I think you're being a bit mean. That's why I was scratching my head, I couldn't see exact examples of grammartical errors.</p>

<p>But hey, whatever floats your boat.</p>

<p>Bill<em>h</em>pike,</p>

<p>I'm not saying that the errors aren't a problem, but your assertion that it's incoherent is a bit exaggerated. It's pretty easy to get the gist of what the author is saying.</p>

<p>And by the way...</p>
