the the impotence of proofreading

as a english teacher (occasionally, in fact as rarely as possible) i really appreciate this video. it's quite humorous, and points out the need to actually read things you write & print before turning them in. sadly, this lesson is frequently lost on students.

hope you enjoy this vid. i warn you that the language is a little nsfw. sort of. no swear words, just funny things that could accidentally be substituted for what you really meant.



thanks neatorama.

So true and so frustrating for a teacher. I would mark down a full letter grade if students had a lot of mistakes that resulted from a lack of proof reading and some still didnt care. Pure laziness. That was funny though.

I'm no teacher, but shouldn't it be "as AN English teacher"?
