I taught college English for two years, myself. I never met but one or
two college English teachers who can write as well as I can, and I never
met even one who could write like Papa Hemingway or Private Joker
(neither of whom ever went to college). Who the heck cares what a
college English teacher thinks? Certainly his students do not. Nor
should they, for the most part.

At ease, Karl. I'm not sore at you.
