My English teacher was always being so very pedantic about grammar and spelling. I mean it's my style right? I should be able to write whatever and however I feel. Especially if I'm trying to capture a certain mood. Take this sentence for instance:
"There was far to much going on, for her to deal with his petty issues."
My English teacher says that it's a run on sentence and that it has a misspelled word. She asked me to correct it but the problem is I don't know what's wrong with it. I spent an entire night trying to figure it out.
The next day I went to class early and I noticed that my English teacher looked like she had been up all night crying. I asked her what was wrong. She told me that she had been up late arguing with her boyfriend. He didn't want to commit. He didn't feel like there was enough of a relationship there to commit. It was alway him, him, him. He didn't care that her mother was ill. He didn't care that her position was tenuous at the school. He didn't care that she was up for review.
You know what I told my English teacher? I told her that there was far too much going on for her to deal with his petty issues.
