Hello again: This is your Uncle Ken and ‘college prof,’ super-critic: In one of your last “Holabird Advocate” postings, you said your were “Idol no more.” It would seem that with all of the activities you’re getting involved in, you’re “idle” no more! In your most recent posting, however, you state that your friend introduced you as an “idle.” If you’re involved in all that the “Advocate” says you are, it would seem that you’re becoming an “IDOL.” Get ‘em separated. College profs [and, especially, the “grammarian” lot] are a picky, picky, picky bunch.
Seriously, if you’ve got stuff to submit for grades, send it on and I’ll be glad to proofread it for you. Your Aunt Joan is an astute grammarian, also.
Regarding writing, some of my favorite quotes are: “Only a fool would write, except for money.” [Ben Jonson] . . . and “The pursuit of excellence is commendable; the pursuit of perfection is neurotic!” Best wishes in your new found career as a student; sounds like you’re enjoying it.

I was quite confused about the idol/idle mix up, and actually had to read what I wrote. What I found was that everything is as it should be. "Idol no more" meant that I was not part of the Wesleyan Idol competition. I went from idol to idle. That's why I'm referred to as the "Wesleyan Idle" in the other post. that was my reference, not Scott's. His parent's are really nice too. I was shocked to see that they are both around my age, then I remembered where I was.
