Somebody, please, think of the children!

I occasionally read a blog written by an english teacher. A teacher of english language and literature, that would be; not a teacher who is english. Although I’m fairly sure that he is, in fact, some sort of Brit.

I am constantly horrified by the standard of language that he uses. I have seen basic spelling errors, poorly constructed sentences, and incorrect use of punctuation [sez me, the Semi-Colon Queen].

This week he has written a poem. It is appalling. What is the world coming to? Surely an english teacher would at least be aware that such a shockingly bad piece of literature should not be allowed to see the light of day. What if some impressionable child reads it?
