Just a moan: If you teach English, shouldn't you be able to write it?

Get a bit tired of people I don't know wanting me to correct everything they write in English but this I find odd. A woman I met once 4 years ago asked me to correct a course description for a woman who is teaching evening classes in English. Surely a woman paid to teach English is able to write a course description and check it herself?

They are going to study "tenses of the English grammars" by the looks of things. She doesn't seem to have a clue about basic punctuation either.

Probably what annoys me really is that I don't know this woman from Adam and so I do wonder why they think I'll want to bother correcting it. Sigh..

Yes, Friday is a good day as there is no rush. When the nights are lighter we could maybe find some place to meet up.

I would have to see if I could change her ballet class to another day. She's been going there for just over a year now. I like the girls in our group, they're a nice bunch. I think she could go on Wednesdays instead if that group isn't too full. Will have to investigate and see what that group is like though

Otherwise, maybe after ballet ..when we get those nice summer evenings. would be nice to get away from our Kiez! I have not lifted a finger this morning so I have to switch this computer off, ds is at home too with flu, dd is on one of those ridiculous Wandertag outings so she'll be tired-grumpy later, better get some jobs done now!

I know, I haven't done much either. I slept badly last night. Weird nightmares. I don't even dream usually. Remember the nightmares though because dd came and jumped on my stomach at 5 am (I love you so much mummy) and woke me up in the midst of it all.
