New comment on Sugarbritches Is Picking on Grannies Again.

"Put the comma inside the quotation marks, or you will never get out of the 4th grade, sugarbritches."


The Twit Spats Out:


You make me sick, hypocrite. You can't accept something as insignificant as people's personal choices of punctuation styles; so how would you expect them to accept others' sexuality choices? How would you respond if you read a comment like, "Put your member inside someone of the opposite sex, or you'll never get out of the Blue Oyster Bar?"

Granny Lee Responds:

You don’t have “personal choices” in where to put punctuation, Sugarbritches. You either put the commas in the right place, or you are illiterate.

What is the Blue Oyster Bar, a gay place? Good for gays to have a special bar of their own. Gays need a place to meet until homophobic straights who fear they are secretly gay stop beating up on gays as scapegoats for this fear.

I would get into the Blue Oyster bar with ease and aplomb. Gays love their grannies who are fag hags.


My analysis says you are a homophobic twit. All homophobic twits have trouble with commas. lee

This person is strange. What is she or he trying to talk about sticking a member into the opposite sex and Oyster Bar? What is that all about? This must be a sicko. You weren't talking about any Blue Oyster Bar. What does that mean?

She or he also has an odd idea of brown nosing. People brown nose people who can do them favors. For instance, an employee can brown nose his boss in hopes of getting a better position.

People reading a blog who simply agree with the blogger are not brown nosers, because they gain nothing from the blogger. She or he is ridiculous and illogical. It is probably Elia herself. We should thank our lucky stars she doesn't start blasting you with the F bomb!

I thought the message was strange, but I am a First Amendment nut and will publish anybody’s refutation of what I say.

I wish that Elia and I could meet in the ring and that she tried to blast me with the “f” word. I would mop up the floor with the mullet-coiffed potty-mouthed superintendent. Lee

Anonymous, how have I defended the top dog? Which workers have I kicked in the shins? I just wanted Lee to get facts straight. You brownnose her more than I've ever brownnosed anyone in admin (which is never).

"My goodness, that mere $340 Smith mentoring per day comes out to a measly $1,700 a week."

Yes, a whole lot less than the $340 per hour you maintained.

"Voters want to know how much and where the school board flings their money around so that they can clear up this matter at election time."

Do they want to know accurate figures or the ones you get wrong?

"As to your Romper Room rebuke that you sent: Block letters are prominent in the writing of little kids and comic books."

Hey, you want modern educators to be au fait with modern techology. Don't you recognise internet shouting when you hear it? You were too deaf to hear the facts the first time (while your lackeys fawned all over you). Your maths suggests that you heard me when I projected my voice. "Internet" gets a capital.

You're welcome. Oink, oink.

You have some kind of stake in maintaining the current crooks in the administration. I don’t know what it is, but there must exist a link to engender this level of hostility to someone who questions it.


Maybe you are Abu-Ghraib-Home-Ec Linda Kipley’s nephew or neice. Which is it?



What’s your defense of Elia’s creating two jobs for Doesn’t-Know-How-To Differentiate-Between-You’re-and-Your-Hamilton? As a collaborator in the board and administration rip-off of taxpayers, students, and teachers, you must have one.


You aren’t Connie Mileto, Hamilton’s sweet patootie, are you? C’mon. Fess up.


Have a nice day and calm down. lee

You are right. I bet most the ROSSAC people are thrilled with your blog, because they all hate Elia. When she was hired she went around to shake all their hands so she could rub it in their faces that she is now their boss. She is probably the most hated person in Hillsborough County. Everyone talks about her behind her back, because nobody likes her. Very unprofessional woman with a potty mouth.

I have figured out that the primary reason you criticize other people’s grammar is because "THAT," NOT "BECAUSE."you have nothing else against them. When you realize someone who opposes you may actually be right (imagine that!), you just slam them with grammatical critiques because you don’t have a counterargument. It’s clever, though, and it seems to be working for you. I’m glad you’ve found a defense mechanism that works for you.

And I would have to disagree with your statement that a person is illiterate if he or she doesn’t punctuate correctly. Let’s see, a person who knows how to punctuate is literate (according to you), yet you couldn’t read an article and comprehend what it was saying, NO COMMA even after I and others corrected you. I, on the other hand, cannot punctuate (according to you), yet I can easily understand what is written in a Tribune article. THE TRIBUNE TEXT IS 6TH-GRADE LEVEL. IT HAS TO BE FOR IT TO SELL PAPERS. So I’M the one who is illiterate? How is that logical?

Ziggy, you clever rascal, You have figured me out. You have me down cold. I bet you have x-ray vision.

However, I suspect your vision is not any help with commas. For those to be right, one must know the structure of a sentence. The reason I have that down cold is that I have for probably more years than you have been alive read linguistics for fun.

You, too, can read linguistics if you are not too lazy or too dull. You sound like what I would intuit by reading the above slam essayette to be an intelligent student. But I am no laggard in the smarts department myself.

If I could see you--send me a full-figure picture--you would find me astute in critiquing your appearance. I will not be kind, but I will be funny.

Your thinking seems to run to details. Mine's on the big picture. We occupy different planets. lee

Your comments amuse me. Instead of admitting your inaccuracies, you continue your badgering of the school district. You do this to cover up your shortcomings.


I understand that federal grant money is tax money, but I’m trying to make the point that you always imply Elia is draining funds directly from the school district budget. A grant was offered to the school district, Elia took it, and now she’s the bad guy?

“Darling Reader, is Mentor Magnate Grace getting only $340 hour, not $440? Poor Grace. That means she has gotten only $2720 a day instead of $2820.”

Why do you keep saying Ippolito is getting this large sum of money PER HOUR? The whole point of my comment was to make you realize that the Tribune article states that she is getting $340 a DAY. You misread both a newspaper article and a reader’s comment. Are you senile? I can only assume such a thing from somebody who is always emphasizing proper literary communication.

And where do you get these calculations? Even if she did make $440 an hour, she would make $3,520 a day, not $2,280 (assuming an eight-hour workday). All you did was increase the day’s pay by $100 because that’s the difference of $440 and $340. You may be a master of language, but a 3rd grader could do math better than you. And you if you think these are minor calculation mishaps then you are a hypocrite. You say “who’s counting?” when it comes to tax payer money and imply that every cent counts. Well I believe that too and that’s why I’m so tedious with these calculations. Every cent DOES count, so you shouldn’t just shrug off these errors.

Also, you claim Elia is theoretically 88% more important than the teachers because teachers make 12% of her salary (God knows what you mean by that, on account of you don’t the difference between a salary and an annual income). Since you have no mathematical reasoning whatsoever, let me explain something to you: percentages don’t work that way. Just because teachers make 12% of what Elia makes, that doesn’t mean she’s theoretically 88% more important. To properly get your point across, you have to divide her salary by a starting teacher’s salary and then multiple by 100. For instance, let’s assume values and say Elia makes $300,000 (including the bonus) and a starting teacher makes $35,000. If you divide $35,000 by $300,000 you get about 0.12 which is 12%. Now, for the part you messed up on. To figure out how much more Elia is hypothetically worth you would have divide $300,000 by $35,000, which is approximately 8.57. Multiple that by 100 and you get 857. This means that Elia is 857% more valuable than the teachers, not just that measly 88% that you came up with. And since this value will be much more useful to you than the one you erroneously calculated, you can badger Elia even more. See, I’m just trying to help.

Ziggy, it’s flattering that I take up so much of your time to correct my flaws. But really, we senile bunnies don’t have any appreciation of such attentions. I will mistake you for the nurse’s aide or my long-lost Aunt Blanche or Uncle Kenny every time. That’s the thing about being in the condition you have committed me to: senility. Even better would be Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s is acondition in which the subject is as happy as a lark, but the people who have to take care of them are miserable.

A grant was offered to the school district, Elia took it, and now she’s the bad guy? I don’t imply. I say outright that Elia scoops up money anywhere she can. Elia is not a guy, and she is not bad. She is a woman with a mullet haircut, and she is evil.

“Darling Reader, is Mentor Magnate Grace getting only $340 hour, not $440? Poor Grace. That means she has gotten only $2720 a day instead of $2820.”


Why do you keep saying Ippolito is getting this large sum of money PER HOUR? The art of satire involves deliberate exaggeration. The whole point of my comment was to make you realize that the Tribune article states that she is getting $340 a DAY. You misread both a newspaper article and a reader’s comment. Are you senile? If I am lucky I am. I can only assume such a thing from somebody who is always emphasizing proper literary communication. I do not emphasize literary criticism. I emphasize grammar and punctuation and rhetoric.

And where do you get these calculations? Even if she did make $440 an hour, she would make $3,520 a day, not $2,280 (assuming an eight-hour workday). All you did was increase the day’s pay by $100 because that’s the difference of $440 and $340. You may be a master of language, but a 3rd grader could do math better than you. Don’t exaggerate. I think it would have to be a 5th grader. And you COMMA if you think these are minor calculation mishaps COMMA then you are a hypocrite. You don’t understand the word “hypocrite.” Noam Chomsky gives the best definition: he says a hypocrite is "a person who refuses to apply to him- or herself the same standards as he/she applies to others.” You say “who’s counting?” when it comes to tax payer money and imply that every cent counts. Well COMMA believe that too COMMA and that’s why I’m so tedious with these calculations. Every cent DOES count, so you shouldn’t just shrug off these errors.

Where does Newton say this in the Principia Mathematica? Answer: he doesn’t. If Newton doesn’t say it, I don’t buy it.

“THE TRIBUNE TEXT IS 6TH-GRADE LEVEL. IT HAS TO BE FOR IT TO SELL PAPERS.”

Exactly! So that obviously means you cannot comprehend a writing written on a 6th-grade level…unless of course you deliberately told false information…

I confess. I read very little in newspapers. I read the NYT when I read a newspaper. And I correct its grammar on Grammargrinch.blogspot.



“Where does Newton say this in the Principia Mathematica? Answer: he doesn’t. If Newton doesn’t say it, I don’t buy it.”

What’s the matter? Are percentages too complicated for you? And I think I was right on when I compared your math skills to a 3rd-grader when talking about Ippolito’s pay. You see, nowadays, 3rd-graders know how to do basic subtraction and multiplication. And I doubt you’d be able to understand even the first page of Principia Mathematica considering you are incompetent at grade school arithmetic.

You err, Master Zigaroo. I resort to the Principia for bedtime reading when I am not reading the National Inquirer, which is the same level of gossip literature as the Principia is to math.




“Why do you keep saying Ippolito is getting this large sum of money PER HOUR? The art of satire involves deliberate exaggeration”

There is a difference between satire and lying. Satire is meant to mock and ridicule, not deliberately make false claims. You can’t just make a false statement, and then say it was “satire” when someone calls you out on it. The proof is in your email to Ms. Cobbe. While you might satirize on your blog, I think it would be inappropriate to carry on with literary frills in the context of a professional statement. Even your supporters believe what you were saying:

You mistake readers for supporters. You are a detractor if you lust for that title. People who read my blog read the Tribune, so they can infer what my statement on Ippolita’s hypertrophied earnings were. The fact is that she made $440 an hour. Deal with it.



How can Ippolito take the kind of money she was offered and be an ethical person? How can she accept $340 or whatever per hour to mentor a principal?

So if no one recognized it was “satire”, including your supporters, then obviously the author didn’t do a good job at her “art of satire” did she?...

Why are you jumping to third person? What legerdemain are you trying to pull off with a switch in point of view? Do you think to confuse me? If I am the “author,” I must have done a superb job to be enduring the harangues of some guy named Ziggy after midnight about good jobs and The Meaning of Life.



Just admit it – it wasn’t satire and it wasn’t a mistake. You deliberately gave false information in hopes that no one will question you (something you often do). Your supporters blindly follow you (as evidenced above) and are to naive to find out the truth for themselves.

OK, I am the fiend of the Bay Area with six-inch fangs who comes from the fens and bogs of mischief beyond the wilds of Turkey Creek to lie like a rug for fun and profit.



I don't think you're living up to that "make people face the truth" quote that you have on the top of your page.

Truth is relative, El Ziggo. You are not supple enough intellectually to deal with more than addition and subtraction. We of the civil terrorist calling must be more inventive than such as you of a simple heart and simpler mind. Now go stand in the corner.

"Your thinking seems to run to details. Mine's on the big picture."

Ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha. Sorry, but I couldn't help laughing when you accused ME of focusing on details. That was the most hypocritical remark I have ever heard in my life. Seriously.

Yeah, criticizing every little quotation placement, sentence fragment, and capitilzation error is really focusing on the big picture...

Let me ask you this: You seem to maintain some sort of superiority over others just because you know all the rules of the English language. And your degree is in English, is it not? So if everyone had the knowledge of English that you have, then wouldn't your degree be absolete? Would you have had a job at HCC if every college student was a master of rhetoric? In other words, if advanced English rules were supposed to be common knowledge, then what would be the purpose of your degree?

And the reason I may seem to run on about things is because I've been reading your blog for a while and I've been keeping my mouth shut, but now I am finally spilling my guts all at one time. Sorry for the mess.

I bet Ziggy is really Kipley's husband or Cobbe....it is someone with a desire to tell you that you are wrong which is fine, except that she misses the whole point and ignores the issue of the ROSSAC officials acting like a bunch of crooks and the school board looking the other way.

I have to differ strongly with one point. There is NO WAY that Elia is THE MOST HATED person in Hillsborough County. I realize she strove mightily. I do 'git git git' that. BUT, there is NO WAY.
There is such stiff competition for this title that I fear that EVEN the evil la elia-essence could only place perhaps somewhere between twenty five and fifty. NO WAY.
My god there's brian blair, david gee, ken hagan, kevin white .... among women there is ronda storms, pam iorio, janet weaver-coats ....

COME ON, the competition is FIERCE.
Anyone know why Clarence Holley is suing her???

[No one posting to this blog is trying to get anything from Lee, so how is that brown nosing.]

Well, Anon, I didn’t try to get anything from the administration. I didn’t agree with the opinions of the administration either. How, then, would I be a brown noser? Or was the poster who labelled me as such lacking in vocabulary as well?

I would, however, suggest that many of you want – and get - Lee’s approval. All the poorly punctuated claptrap (such as your question without a question mark, cretin) is posted without correction when you agree with Lee, yet poor old Ziggy is lumbered in with all the NYT journos, Elia, etc., who can’t use a comma and whom Lee deems illiterate.

[You don’t have “personal choices” in where to put punctuation, Sugarbritches. You either put the commas in the right place, or you are illiterate.]

Wow, woman, you’re as bad as Bush. “Do things American or we’ll bomb the crap out of y’all!” Colour, modelling, metre – all wrong and I’m illiterate, I suppose.

Oh, and what you meant to write was one of these:

You either put the commas in the right place or are illiterate.

Okay, I'll answer your question for you. I'll spell it out.

"Put your penis into someone of the opposite sex or you will stay gay forever."

Now, would you ever say that to a gay student? (I hope you provide an answer.) Would you support a teacher who said that to a gay student? What would you think of a teacher who said that to a gay student? Would you deride a student with different preferences?

Capital "I" for internet, you say? Try the same "I" before "E" in "niece". This word is commonly spelled incorrectly.
