by Dr. Molto Breve

THE END:  Mrs. Shirley Markham Lowe teaches senior English at Underbelly, Texas's D.B.Wesson High School.  After the last exams, she sent to us here at the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired some of her favorite redundancies from student papers.

Kids announce, "In this paper I will write..." - really!? - and discuss the motives of the chief protagonist in Hamlet.

They introduce statements that are obviously from their own minds with "I think that..."

And on the last page, in case we can't see that no more writing appears, they write "The End."

As we say in the South, bless their hearts.
