just the grammar, ma'am...

Those of weak heart, beware. What you are about to read will shock and disgust you. It serves as further evidence of the need for rabid English majors/enthusiasts to take over the world.
The story you are about to read [, Emma,] is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the...guilty.

At my secret government "office" job today, I was filing some "resumes" and came across this phrase: [and, yes, this was a native english speaker. if she had been foreign, i could have possibly excused it]
"I would like a job where its possible to further better myself."

sigh...unfortunantly, this happen all too often.

This is Emily Friday, signing out.
[goodnight, sweetheart]
