Grammar?

Today is the last day of work before we are off for the holidays. I work at a university. We educate students and grant Associates, Bachelors, and Masters degrees. They say we educate. I am not so sure it includes the English language and grammar? Why you ask? Because here are some excerpts from emails my coworker and I have received today from students:


'Fall semester and spring semester me as well as a friends of mine had been enrolled in the same classes however mine tuition is higher than hers. Her tuition be saying RN-bsn or nursing and mines says undergrad but we is in the same classes! And mine is more spensive by over 1000 dollars.'


'Is my student loans showing up on there and do I suppose to complete my masters promissory note ?'

'Can you let me know when y'all be closed?'

'I looked at my account and I don't see any fineantial aids on my account. Also, is the liabary closed?' (I am assuming they are speaking of Financial Aid and the Library)

I could go on and on, but I will let it rest for now.

2 hours and 45 minutes to go.........

Wish me luck.

  1. This is horrifying. I do wonder how these people ever made it out of high school and how they got accepted into college...

  2. btw, I showed that to my husband, and even though English is not his forte, he whimpered. It comes to this, and then the doors slam shut. Maybe in the next century the monks will return and it will start all over, the long climb back up the mountain.
