There is a person I know who is a reading teacher. She wants to continue teaching reading, even though I think she is a better math and science teacher.
I am even more so convinced by the following:
She teaches "homophoMes," but not "homophoNes". Perhaps I should just start calling them homonyms to see if she follows suit.
In a letter to a parent, she stated that her daughter would have "amble" time to finish the work. I suppose she could amble along to the finish line.
And finally, in a conversation, she used the word "astrominable," which isn't even a word, in place of "astronomical".
Help me.
Please.

Amble time... hoo that's rich. Well, except that she's teaching people.
I used to think it was to all 'intensive purposes' until I was in college, but then again, not a major gaffe and I am not teaching anyone. ;)
Poor thing. She is actually tone deaf, so I think part of it is that she doesn't hear phonemes properly, so her articulation is way off. Still....
