re: LSU really needs to do something about these foreign professors.

I had a Spanish English teacher, when I was at LSU. She taught a writing class, but similes and metaphors confused her. So, if you used a simile or metaphor in a writing assignment, you had to notate it and attach a separate page to explain them. In other words, if you wrote 'I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse', you'd have to explain that it was just a figure of speech and that you were not going to literally eat a horse. She would often write English word on the board and ask for pronunciation. She was pretty, so we didn't drop the class...


Correction, she was Chilean. Ximena
