| YES! It would bother me very much. |

| Hell yes. I would print it out, mark it up in red pen, and then mail it anonymously to her. Each time. |

| Goodness. It bothers me when it's DCUM. If it's the principal, it would drive me to drink. |

OP: here is the latest example that pushed me over the edge. I really feel like this is so poorly-written!

| Yes, very poorly written indeed. |

| Wow -- that's not nearly as bad as I was expecting. Get a hobby. |

I'd be happy to get any communication out of our principal. She operates in a Cone of Silence. |

| Yeah, that memo didn't bother me at all. |

| It's not well written, but it does show that the principal was reaching out to parents over the summer. To me, that ought to outweigh the awkward phrasing. |

seemed fine to me also. |

| All I could find was a misplaced comma or two. She should be commended for writing a letter with all the information in it. The principal at my kids' school never did that. |

This. Also, she capitalized the start of a parenthetical phrase within a sentence. Should we take her out back and shoot her? Honestly, you need to get a life. There is nothing egregious about this memo. Signed, someone who writes/edits for a living but who realizes that most other people (including principals and teachers) do not. |

| There are comma errors, a subject verb agreement error, and proof reading errors. I teach writing so they stuck out to me, but really, the average reader won't and shouldn't be bothered. |
