World-class brown noser
I think I’m going to enjoy this Tech Writing class. At first, I thought it would be difficult --- I don’t know why, but I did. It may still require some work, but I am sure I’ll be able to get a good grade anyway.
Today in class, the professor (one Mary Forte, pronounced “Mary Forty”) asked for a modification of a sentence. She wanted us to remove to be, and she said that she particularly liked the way I rewrote it. Score 1 for Nick.
Later on, I noticed that one of her overheads contained this:
E’
Where she meant to use this:
E′
She had an iBook, so after class I showed her where to get the proper punctuation mark.
I swear I don’t mean to do it. Honest! But can I help it if I know the correct punctuation? Can I help it if she likes my sentence structure and word choice?
I can deal with another A this quarter.
