Thread: A Grammar Cop to end all Grammar Cops
Started 1 month, 3 weeks ago by kelseymh
The Language of Bad Physics is a blog devoted to complaining about poor language use by physicists, in particular in published papers. And you guys thought Kiteman and I criticized too much! By the way, check out her 13 October entry, where she rips apart a recent crackpot without even needing to point out the physics absurdities. Minor update: Gender references corrected. Thanks...

Wow! Send Lira to study physics for a few years, that's what you'd get. >shudder<

ROFL! I don't know whether to be terribly complimented or intensely offended. (Actually I've kicked that idea around...)

Be complimented. I'm tossing around the idea of going back into teaching physics as a single subject.

You're crazy. Was that right? And I have unconscious sexist biases. What do you expect from a Dead White Guy?

I wholeheartedly encourage you... I bumped into my old physics teacher the other day, the old crone... You'd make up for at least ten awful teachers...

I teach in a Middle School, but our local authority is closing middle schools to save money improve education, so I will be moving to teach in a high school.

Hmm, we don't have Middle School in Australia, we just have Primary School, High School then College.&nbsp; I'd reccomend you coming to my school, but it would be kind of weird if you were my teacher.
