Ms. H, I am relieved that you have corrected the grammar errors on the blog’s title (from that abominable “aplanguage2008” to the current title). I realize the reality is that you probably have had that alteration completed for quite some time—making me look quite foolish by my late observation. Alternately, you may have made the change in the recent past, in which case my former statement of foolishness looks foolish in itself. Nonetheless, the humiliation and ridicule that I may subject to as a result of my folly can in no way suspend my joy and thanksgiving over this momentous grammatical change.

Monk, you have too much time on your hands. I need to give more homework.

Ms. H., because of your blog assignment, I am missing The NewsHour.

Vengeance shall be mine.

Do you mean the blog assignment that you've had a week to complete? The one that you're working on at the last possible moment? I see how this blame thing works now.
