It’s all about the diction
I think I may have accidentally called my students “illiterate” today. I was coffee crashing and hungry and babbling, and all I can remember was that I was trying to elucidate the connection between reading and writing. Then, I said something like, “developing a life-long daily habit of reading is the only way to learn to write literately, the only way to be literate. What I see in your papers aren’t problems that will be solved by learning terms; these are basic literacy problems.” And worst of all, I said this to the most literate of my three classes. Yikes. I’m hoping that they don’t know what literate means. I know they won’t look it up. Or maybe, they weren’t actually listening to me. Maybe they were hungry and coffee crashing too. I think I really meant “articulate/articulately/inarticulate.” In the real (it’s my new favorite expression, but I’m afraid to learn that by using it, I’m may once again be fronting my decrepitude. Wait…do people still say fronting?)–we can all be a little inarticulate from time to time. I know I was. Sorry guys. I’ll be better on Thursday!
Heehee, maybe you should get a shirt that says “I blame it on the coffee”.
That was too funny! Don’t worry, I’m sure there are teachers that they have that does much worse than that. 
I was just telling my husband the other day that I had a teacher in high school that was prone to cursing at least once a week.
This keeps getting funnier. I think you should go back on Thursday and tell them that at least they are the most literate of the three classes! Seriously, I dont think I shared that my co-supervisor Spike called our group incapable of managing meetings with other professionals. By accident. But they caught it. And weren’t happy.
I respect your work,it is the most nice one i ever see
