No I loved it because it mostly wasn't my material. ;o) I admit to being beaten to a pulp in all of my content by the comma police though. Plus I seem to have this habit of typing too slow or thinking too fast and skipping entire words, phrases, and/or sentences. I even caught a case of a missing paragraph but I wonder if it that one was user error since I had to use Word to do this, I am a notepad and editplus person.
On the tutoring... My tutoring days are over. If I learn any more I won't remember how to walk. I am already forgetting more than I ever knew because of this circular log called my brain. Now maybe if you were at Arizona State or University of Miami I could be convinced. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Laura E.
