My HS junior English teacher sent me to the principal's office for correcting her pronunciation of [sic] "mischievious"...when I, under my breath, said "It's mischievous, there's not a third 'i'," she kicked me out of class!

Commas: when in doubt, leave it out. As said earlier, it's not salt.

I can't read incorrect grammar without correcting it. It's a joke at our elementary school that I'll send the newsletter back all marked up if there are errors!

My mother is a retired English teacher, my grandfather was a college professor, primarily of foreign languages. You can't master a second or third if you can't handle your first one!

Oh, and if it's grammatical, it's correct. "Grammatical errors" is an oxymoron. They're errors in grammar.

Yes, my mother raised an editor! I used to get paid to do this stuff! It still gives me a rush!
