You know what would be really funny? Put all these “non” paragraphs together into one very, very bad speech.
And, Dr.Pezz, after you read The Road, head on over to the dark and stormy book club blog to tell us what you think of it – in coherent sentences, though.

I wish I could be surprised, but I can’t….
One year (teaching Bio 100), the only real written work inthe class (there were 3,000 students inthe class, so not much chance for correcting), was a “lab report” that more or less asked the kids to copy the lab directions into a paper, fill in a few blanks, do some math, and apply the results. Ignoring the actual science, most of the kids were horrible writers, but I had one kid that handed in 2 typed pages of phrases, with no punctuation, capitalization, paragraphs, or logical progression.
When I returned the papers, his didn’t have a grade, just a note asking him to come see me. I never saw him again, so I really don’t know what the story was.
I was teaching at a fairly well known state university, when it was supposedly fairly difficult to get accepted….

Dr. Prezz, don’t you just LOVE how badly that backfires on people?
My question is this – how many in the college community (besides geeky little me) actually caught the error…? The thing that scares me is my answer is “probably no one…”
