An underpaid community college Instructor, who didn't have tenure, and was working as a landscaper during the summers, said,
"Students--please don't use clichés in your writing."
"Funnel your paragraphs."
"Students--just don't use clichés ever! Why use them? Even among yourselfs?"
"And don't use acronyms, unless your writing a technical paper, and it's absolutely necessary to the paper! Please?"
I just remembered his name--Dr. Roland? I was waiting for my girlfriend, and overheard his wishes while sitting on the floor outside his class. I could tell he was tired. I can still smell the carpet cleaner.
