Tonks:
I forgot what it is called. It this the same as diagramming a 
sentence? Where you tell what is the subject, verb, etc? We did that 
for hours in school.

What is really irking me at the moment is this. I had occasion to 
read someone’s essay and I corrected their grammar. (it was one of 
those "me and my friends think...", sort of thing, which really gets 
to me.) And they wrote back to me that they didn't care about 
grammar. That really p....'s me off! Not only do they want to be 
stupid, but that remark was rude. I would not be a teacher today for 
anything. Better to be homeless under the bride that to deal with 
the #@!(*&$) little twerps that are out there these days. What ever 
happened to respect for your elders, respect for your teachers, and 
others in authority!!

Maybe Filch was right! "God how I miss the screaming"... Ya, where 
is my wand! Better yet, is there a full moon? That will teach them!!
