A language teacher told me how pupils sometime questioned his use of the red pencil (e.g. when he discovered illogical stylistic and wording combinations) because, after all - each single word(ing) they had used, was found in the dictionary. Students need to be thought about the *real* issue. Even if this makes your teaching job more demanding. -- leif halvard silli
