That's terrible.
My old English teacher, Mrs Francis, was the most anally retentive person on the planet when it comes to grammar and structure. She could also speak in Old English, or whatever it is that Chaucer wrote in and read the Canterbury Tales (well, not all of them) in the original tongue.
I loved her very much.
