A little bit about my job
From the “Things that may only be amusing to Tony” file:
Today in class, the students had to practice making sentences into questions, the one that amused me was this:
Ken’s pen is on the desk.
So, in question form:
Is Ken’s pen on the desk?
The problem was at least half a dozen students wrote this:
Is Ken’s pen is on the desk.
The problem is that some of the students didn’t put a space between the third and fourth word of the sentence.
Hilarity ensued.

Don't I get it? FDawg
ok... i have a feeling Scott was behind a message or two here...
the real FDawg
That would be hilarity.
Frank....think about it...just remove the space between the word pen, and is, and the sentence takes on a whole different meaning.
I love your blog but you don't post enough. Is it true that you're not coming to visit your favorite cousins in London? Say it isn't so?

SMS! (Am I allowed to call you that?) Long time no comment on my blog! No decision has been made about a trip to London....but most of my friends here who are from England are very undesirable characters...so I'm not so sure.
Former English Teacher here, I got it.
