teachers gone mad

it's not that i'm trying to be perfect but if you're to formally teach some children good english - you are expected to be as close to perfect as possible -- or at least, avoid making lousy mistakes on simple grammar and punctuation.

An acquaintance who was just hired as an English teacher in Thailand was so proud of her first teaching job she posted a picture of a manual she said she made for her pre-school class and so sad she had this one on the cover: Inspiring children: inspiring change and most importantly, lot's of fun! That was suppose to be a slogan. Even if you're not an english teacher, you can most probably identify what's wrong with the sentence - lot's is a mess. A simple punctuation--but i don't think it was a mere typo. The letters are as big as the page...and i don't get her slogan not to mention the use of the colon.

From basic grammar, the apostrophe has only 3 uses: to form possessive of nouns (the girl's bag), to show the ommission of letters (who is = who's) and indicate certain plurals of lowercase letters (m's and n's). I don't think lot's of fun would fit into any of the above.

The worst one however, was her reply to a friend's comment: Are you tired maam? the friend commented on one of her pics. She answered, Am i look tired?

Whaattt?
