My name is David, and I revel in sincerity. I'm a reforming prescriptivist whose humor nestles between the straight line and subsuming wit.

A ‘schultüte’ - or
a ‘zuckertüte’ is a big paper (and later plastic) cone filled with
toys, chocolate, candies, school supplies, and various other
goodies. It is given to children to make this anxiously
awaited first day of school a little bit sweeter
The traditions of the schultüte leads back to approximately 1810,
to Saxony and Thuringia in Germany. The first documented report
of the cone-shaped schultüte comes from the city of Jena in 1817,
closely followed by reports from Dresden (1820) and Leipzig (1836).
It started in the bigger cities but spread quickly to the small towns
and villages, soon becoming an institution all over Germany
I remember these fondly. I started kindergarten in Germany and received on each year for several years after. Our family is rich in Berliner and Bavarian traditions, and I can’t imagine growing up without these or shoes full of treats in at the start or December.

WELL SAID.
Amen

How awful is it to have to remind students to mind those squiggly blue, red, and green lines in Microsoft Word/their browsers? Worse, to have to threaten them if they fail to do something about their errors before submitting a final draft?
It’s 2013. My empathy for the computer illiterate college student passed with the Mayan apocalypse of 2012.
