I would go with an m-dash or colon. But I find the longer I teach, the less I correct individual grammar errors in student papers. There's usually bigger fish to fry.
SO TRUE. I don't correct much grammar. I'm too busy trying to fix the weak, shoddy thinking.
Yesterday my colleagues and I double scored 1000 essays. We had all assigned the same prompt to all of the students at my school. So we scored them together. It was exhausting but thought provoking. Also, good to give a score with no comments.
Today's xkcd is potentially heart breaking.

Well, when you're teaching grammar and punctuation, those are the fish in question.
Google maps is making me fucking insane. I need to walk away for tonight, I've been messing with it for 90 minutes and can't get it to behave consistently. WALKING AWAY.,
I could tag and label more photos but if I have to type Chillagoe one more time tonight.... Here's what I've got, I quit even describing the sets around Palmer River. [link]
Okay, that blue silk top (satin??) that Kerry Washington is wearing in the opening scene of yesterday's Scandal? Such an amazing colour. I don't have anything that amazing. I want that.
His brother is a good looking kid [link] too, but this one [link] this one is going to break some hearts. If he doesn't headbutt them first: [link]
Ha. I just did an image search to illustrate a point I was making about babies being tainted once they have known hunger, and the white chocolate baby heads were on the second row of results.
Wooha! The contingency plan can go back in the drawer for another month. We made it past cutoff with no alarm bells ringing, so that's good. And this does not mean we shouldn't have resolved what I demanded resolution on--just communicating that to the business is an act with benefits.
I did get an email where people were playing hot potato with an URL that wasn't returning the content they expected. It's pleasant when I can take said potato and hand it carefully to the person who batted it over the net and explain why it's nothing to do with me, and in fact is all on them. Sure helps the weekend start off well.
The dress Olivia is wearing at the end of the episode is also gorgeous. Wow. She is getting the fuck styled out of her, because they light grey jacket with the long peplum--crave. At least she dresses more appropriately than Jessica on Suits, but still amazing.
There was something about that dress I didn't care for, but the jacket, yes, awesome.
She doesn't want to spend time planning for something that shouldn't happen. Won't happen.
She's clearly never worked in the nuclear industry.
Dammit -- the building I live in is for sale, as I suspected. At least I have a lease this time, but I really didn't want to have to move again so soon!
