An apology to my high school English teacher

Dear Mr. Cummins,

I am not sure if you read this blog, I think I may have included you in the mass email which accounced the debut of the blog. Which, of course, doesn't mean that you read it. But nevertheless, I want to apologize for all the spelling and grammar mistakes. Sorry for the misuse of commas (I love them), sorry for the really long sentences, fragments, incorrect syntax, and sentences that make no sense. Fortunately I can say that English is my third language, but that's no excuse. I promise I paid attention in your class; I am just careless when it comes to writing in this blog. And I still have troubles with the correct use of all the articles - I have no clue where "the" is more appropriate than "a" or perhaps an article is not necessary at all.

And I've lost my Strunk and White.

But I remember you said that it is important to write something every day. So here I am, writing something once a week or so. Plus, I haven't bought my 3.5" by 5.5" Moleskine weekly planner, perhaps once I own one, the postings will be more frequent.

Thanks for reading,
Betty McBoob
