Why do I care? Why do I teach?

They get it

• I just wanted to let you know that at my
  internship this summer at the Jewish Press I was
  asked to make a Twitter account . So I just
  wanted to say thank you for assigning us the
  Twitter homework and helping us learn Twitter
  because it really did help with my job. Along
  with writing and copy editing I'm going to be in
  charge of the Twitter account!

Why do I care?

• Your editing class has made me a crazy woman! I
  scrutinize the paper and the mistakes are making
  me insane. I've started reading grammar blogs.
