I need to rant.
In a college paper, one should not use the sentence "However, we all are guilty of using [television] as a baby sitter maybe like once or twice, but its not a permanent babysitter."
HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
To break it down:
1. Where [television] is written, she completely forgot to use either that word or just a fucking article
2. "maybe like once or twice"- just no.
3. "we are all guilty"- All of us? Even those without kids?
4. "but it's not a permanent babysitter" Thank you, Holmes, where would I be without you?
There are two pages like this that I need to turn into college level English by tomorrow because it's part of a group project.
And I hate to point fingers or anything, but if she were to take her own advice, which appears to be reading, she might not be such an idiot.
I realize I'm a narcissistic pedant, but really now. And she did the power point presentation... which she has not emailed yet, despite my asking once in person and twice by email... which means I'm doing one tonight because I'm not taking a chance on it sucking.
I hate group work.

no open containers of alcohol in a public place....IE, while you can have an open can of beer while sitting in your driveway or standing on your lawn, once you step onto the sidewalk (a public place) your are now in violation.
The angry ranting snarky delightful part, not the bad parts.
I've seen so much bad writing in college it's....damn disheartening. Especially when people start writing college papers with chatspeak. WTF? (oops)
Copy editing for the newspaper has been....a singular experience.
