A letter that was dated May 3rd and was printed on White House stationery was sent to Yvonne Mason, 61, a former high school English teacher who retired last year. She says she hasn’t quite left “grading-paper mode.” That became obvious when the Atlanta Democrat scrawled notes across the letter bearing President Trump’s signature. In the top left corner she sneered: “Have y’all tried grammar & style check?” I can’t think of a ruder, more disrespectful thing to do after receiving a letter from the White House. You can bet she would not have done that to Barack Obama.
At the top right, she chided: “Federal is capitalized only when used as part of a proper noun.” Except that is not correct in itself. a style manual for the federal government calls for capitalizing “Nation” and “Federal” when the words are used as a synonym for the United States. This woman was just picking at this out of sheer hatred for President Trump. It’s disgusting. Toward the bottom she wrote: “OMG this is WRONG!”
When Mason received the letter in the mail, she immediately pulled out her purple pen to correct the offending piece. She went even further and took a picture that she posted to Facebook and then mailed back to the White House. “It was a poorly worded missive,” she said. “Poor writing is not something I abide. If someone is capable of doing better, then they should do better.” We could certainly ‘do better’ than to have this woman as a teacher. Her manners need serious work as well.
Mason wrote to President Trump to ask that he visit each family of those who died in the s******g that k****d 17 people at a high school in Parkland, FL, in February. First off, that’s not her place to request that. Second, President Trump contacted many involved and has been more interactive in the aftermath of shootings than Barack Obama ever was. “I had written to them in anger, to tell you the truth,” she said. “I thought he owed it to these grieving families.” It seems she has a lot of anger when it comes to politics.
Nothing is good enough for this woman. From the New York Times:
“The letter she received did not address her concerns, she said. Instead, it listed a series of actions taken after the s******g, like listening sessions, meetings with lawmakers and the STOP School Violence Act, a bill that would authorize $500 million over 10 years for safety improvements at schools but had no provisions related to g**s.”
“A sentence about a “rule” banning devices that turn legal g**s into illegal machine g**s was unclear. “Explain ‘rule,’” she wrote.”
“There was more, but she didn’t correct everything. “I did not mention the dangling modifier,” she said. “I focused mainly on mechanics.””
““Nation” was capitalized, so was “states.” Ms. Mason circled both.”
“However, a style manual for the federal government calls for capitalizing “Nation” and “Federal” when the words are used as a synonym for the United States. It says “State” should be capitalized when it is referring to the government or legislature. In letters from Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush that constituents posted online, words like “Nation” and “President” are capitalized.”
Yvonne Mason, a retired high school teacher, wrote notes about grammar and clarity on a letter she received from the White House. After marking up the letter, she mailed it back.
The White House did not respond to a request from the New York Times for comment over such a petty, trivial, nit-picking thing as this is. I don’t blame them. The media won’t report on the tremendous things the President does, which is a long list in itself, but they will sure go on about how some jaded teacher doesn’t like how a letter was composed. It’s beyond ridiculous.
