I’m a liar.

Her cluelessness bothers me most. The sentence thing is second.

Beyond the simple mispronunciations and "hockey-mom" speak that drops the "g" of every word and allows the use of "betcha" at every possible moment... the thing that bothers me the most is her inability to complete sentences. Why... WHY does she not possess the ability to speak in sentences without jumping to the next topic in mid-stride -- sometimes without even using conjunctions. Perhaps it's because she's a maverick, and mavericks are allowed such maverickisms in their maverickistic chat. You betcha those mavericks have their own maverickian code.

I was only able to watch for about 2 minutes before changing it. Her voice made me cringe so hard I wanted to throw something at the TV. You’re much more of a trooper then I.

No higher calling than that of a teacher. The greatest reward, of course, is that those you've taught will one day look back and remember a lesson, a thought--not necessarily having anything to do with curriculum--that a teacher gave to them; that a teacher instilled in them that, perhaps, changed their lives. I'm so happy you've made this choice. You're so bright, so articulate. Good thoughts sent your way. George Stephen. No higher calling than that of a teacher.

Congratulations. With any luck, you'll land amongst a group of students who can appreciate a quirky English teacher.

Some people are naturally effective teachers (something that I imagine is hard to actually learn in years of schooling) and I honestly think you are one of them. Congrats on recognizing that talent and pursuing it. I can't wait to see what lies ahead for you. Oh and I can completely picture you as the wackadoo science teacher ;) That’s awesome!

I know EXACTLY how you feel. Though I do feel your rant is missing a section on little women in big ass vehicles who are so distracted by their 3.2 children that they we tempt death even trying to pass them since they can't KEEP IT IN THEIR OWN FUCKING LANE! Wow I feel better now. Thanks for that. You made my lunch break :) I think I laughed out loud at least 8 times while reading this. I know EXACTLY how you feel.
