Memo to students...

When you e-mail your ENGLISH COMPOSITION instructor to set up a conference time, it is advisable to include some capitalization and punctuation in the text of your message. For example, the following e-mail is pretty much guaranteed to put me in a bad mood:

i got class sorry

As is this one:

yeah 3:30 sounds fine

You are NOT going to sprain your fingers if you hit the shift key, nor will you die of exhaustion from putting a period at the end of your sentence. Trust me.
