Dear Jeff,

'Taint just Texas!

Them folks out in Deptford cain't spell last names none too good,
neither.

I once had a very new and young psychology professor in graduate school who
corrected me when I wrote, "the effect of x on y was small." She insisted
that it should be "affect" - all good psychologists, of course, are
particularly interested in affect. I suggested, of course, that my original
spelling was correct. She checked further and wrote back, "your right."
...true story. ...but she was from California, not Texas.

In seventh grade a teacher attempted to correct
"The ship foundered" in a paper of mine.

I hope she wrote "you're right"... unless she meant something else
entirely.

You make an incorrect attribution here.

No she wrote "your right" - ...unfortunately.

Well, I guess she's correct either way :-)
