About "derogatory references to students"-- as a graduate student in
English at UC Santa Barbara, I would just like to add that I think the
laughing at the "gaffes" goes in both directions! But I suppose we
students don't have as much access to put it in print...

Let us not think solecisms are the exclusive property of students. A
former colleague, an epidemiologist, claimed in his vita that he was
"responsible for all VD in Boston." --Ed Harris

after a few more years, perhaps you will weep with compassion and not be
so amused at the spoonerist metaphorical malapropisms, since after all
you are perhaps asking the wrong questions on quizzes, and they, poor
things, are grasping at flaws in your preaching...the pitiful things
wear thin after three decades, and by things, I mean the endless errata
of unfocussed, and unfocussable minds. Then, in a few decades you will
smile with compassion at the pretty things, who are subjecting
themselves to you, to us? to it? in hopes of passing a few years towards
a degre with some gain from it, and not a feeling of forlorn hopelessness
before the Learned and Mighty who qualify them for a low level
deskjob some where they hope...and wanting not to be lashed for our
pleasure as the Duke and Dauphin were by Twain, those two giants of
imposture on the Mississippi about 150 years ago! Same gags, it seems.
Same citizens. Same suckers for a bit of orotund pentameter. Kessler
