Actual sentences from actual students
nth in a series . . .
Context: One of my students wrote a film analysis paper in which he compared The Odyssey and O Brother, Where Art Thou?; in addition to telling him that mere comparison is not the same as analysis, I noted on his Works Cited page, where one of his entries read "Homer. The Odyssey. Print." that we needed just a wee bit more information than that.
So, for his revision, here's what he wrote:
The Odyssey. 9th Century B.C. Ionia. Homer. Print.
Yes: Another semester is in the books. Somewhere, there's a beer with my name on it.

I'll see you "here" in a few days.

Cheers.
