Just so you know

Yes, students, I really am practicing what I preach.

I know that my earlier blog entries use sentence fragments.

Really, Mrs. Miller!

I know that they use some lower level diction.

How could you, Mrs. Miller?

I also know that I am pushing the limits on using too many points of ellipses, as well.

Aren't you supposed to be an English teacher?

Yep, I sure am. And as an English teacher, I try to write with a sense of purpose and with my audience in mind. (Notice that I began that last sentence with a conjunction? I did that just to yank your chain.)

So, just realize that I am being purposeful about my diction and style.

Are they working?
