A retired high school English teacher says a letter she received from President Trump would have barely earned passing marks, so she corrected the letter and sent it back to the White House.
Yvonne Mason, an Atlanta resident who retired this year after teaching middle and high school students in South Carolina for 17 years, corrected grammatical mistakes in the letter bearing Trump's signature, including 11 instances of improper capitalization of words like "president" and "state."
"If it had been written in middle school, I'd give it a C or C-plus," Mason told South Carolina's Greenville News. "If it had been written in high school, I'd give it a D."
She did not attach a letter grade in the letter she sent back to the White House.
Mason acknowledges the letter was likely written by a staffer. She received it after penning a letter requesting that Trump meet individually with the families who lost loved ones in the Feb. 14 high school shooting in Parkland, Fla.
"When you get letters from the highest level of government, you expect them to be at least mechanically correct," she told the newspaper.
"It's stylistically appalling," she added, comparing Trump's writing to the "exquisite" letters she's received from South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham's (R) office.
The teacher said the White House response did not address her request specifically.

Get a life witch, President Trump is BUSY running AMERICA!!!
Even if she believes a staffer wrote it, why do this? Does a superiority complex that she's better at something drive her to dig at others?
She's probably one of those who would fall apart if someone were to point out her nagging flaws.
Pardon me, that was William, not George.
This President usually keeps the “I’s” to a minimum.
Exactly as pictured in my head.

This teacher ought to take a look at our founding documents. She would go crazy with her markup pen on those.
I can't help wondering how many of Hussein's letters and speeches,including his hummmms and aaaahs and pronunciation gaffes this delusional, arrogant, self important loser teacher corrected during the last 10 years?
Also, what is her record in preparing lower and high school students for further education?
I would bet a months pay that NONE of her students were National spelling bee finalists, or STEM graduates.
Why do attention whores insist on embarrassing themselves this way?
Never mind. That is a rhetorical question.
There’s hardly a more nitpicky crabbity argument-seeking fault finder on earth than an old English teacher. Their role is to notice minutiae, but this niche also precludes their ability to lead.
I clerked for a prolific and revered professor who wrote books. We edited each other’s writings. He and I were both educated much earlier than this critic who seems only half right to me.
Or even POTUS after running with all the cards in the deck stacked against you? She's just another lib loser.
she’s right
Ridicule and street theater is all the left have left.
It’s why they stay up late and mentally masturbate to the likes of Steven Colbert and SNL.
Retired from teaching but still active as an a$$#0!e though.
That’s a man baby!
I’d like to think that if you are hired to write correspondence for our President, you’d write at least as well as I do.</Grammar Nazi Mode>
Or....y’know.....PRESIDENT of the United States. But hey, she can always be a pedantic cvnt so she’s got that going for her.
A recent project had Mason, currently an Atlanta resident, penning a postcard every day for a year to Trump. "
Very active.
“Wouldn’t” is cleaner.
