Unexpected Side-Effects of Being a Teacher

  • It is only a matter of time before I publicly correct a stranger's grammar, or admonish him to say 'please.' I am forever stopping myself on the brink of doing this, and am bound to slip someday soon!
  • I cannot read a blog, billboard, or email without correcting any and all of its grammar and spelling errors. (Come on people, turn on your spell check!!)
  • I consider the second series of Downton Abbey pretty much ruined because of several WWI inaccuracies as egregious as impossibly shallow trenches and an incorrectly worded telegram (among many others).
  • I will happily bore anyone by launching an avalanche of obscure historical and or literary facts at the slightest provocation.
  • I clutter up my texts and tweets with proper punctuation. Any oversight would be inexcusable!
  • I recommend books to everyone, whether I've been asked to or not.
  • I wouldn't alter any of these idiosyncrasies in the slightest. I absolutely adore teaching and can't wait to dedicate even more of my daily hours to doing it!

Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. -Colossians 3:16
