Erin, try something along the lines of:
"Given the quality of the spelling and grammar in your email, maybe you should have paid more attention to your teachers' competence rather than their morality."
Who was the real power? The Captain? or Tenille?

Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
"Given the quality of the spelling and grammar in your email, maybe you should have paid more attention to your teachers' competence rather than their morality."
Seriously. "do'nt"? What the hell is that?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
What a fucking jackhole that woman is. I'd vote for Anne's reply as the one you actually send, with Aimée's as the inner monologue you silently recite while sending it, and silently recite again at the wedding while smiling blankly and letting your eyes slide right past her like she was a visible glob of snot or rancid gas or something else so socially appalling that the only thing to do is pretend it doesn't exist.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Seriously. "do'nt"? What the hell is that?
Obvioulsy, a combination of the words "do NT," expressing her preference of operating systems.

Wow. I wonder how she would feel if she knew that my middle school english teacher can be seen in the beginning of Field of Dreams in one of the Berkely archive films. TOTAL hippie and flower child.

If I only had a brain...
Dear Madam,
If you are competent to judge a person's entire moral character by one word in her vocabulary, you are wasted in your current position. May I suggest that you apply for a job at Homeland Security? Mind readers are always in demand.

Punishingly Intricate
I love Anne's and Aimee's replies a lot but I think Betsy's has my heart.
