However, he handed out "corrected" editions the following day... and goofed on the spelling again. Again, I pointed out the error.

Now, he damn sure should have had his ducks in a row on the third day... but he didn't. He gave us another handout, with a third--- incorrect--- spelling of the word, "soliloquy." Yes, I made a huge, comical production out of that one. I was the evil spelling Nazi, but, come on: This was an ENGLISH teacher!

He was pretty pissed off... for a long time. Eventually, we became friends, and laughed about it. However, MANY years later, I ran into him on the street one day... he said, "Hey, what's up there, Soliloquy?"

Good times...

They don't even know what a rim is, much less a dog dish hubcap. And that... is the shame of it.
