I was teaching a group of Juniors about some punctuation rules in preparation for the ACT English test. It went a little something like this:
Me: Who can tell me what a colon is? And don't tell me about your body...
Students give a little chuckle.
Student 1: I hate when people spell cologne like colon.
Me: Yeah, that is unfortunate.
Student 2: I know how to spell cologne! (He did not say the letters, but changed the pronunciation.) CO-LOG-NE!
Me: Good...
Student 1: Yeah, like I hate it when people say things like, Your colon smells really nice today!
Me: Who can tell me what a colon is? And don't tell me about your body...
Students give a little chuckle.
