Well, they are entittled to speak their own way. You dont go into an English class and start speaking like "By God! I thought you had gone to lunch!" when you normally woudl say "Damn- thought you'd gone to lunch!". Speech is actually a whole new section you dont want to start in.. But writing is a bit different as well. Maybe shes goign too fast and occasionally skipped a letter or get jumbled. I do that sometimes. I have to stop.. go back.. okay, that was wrong.. okay, I see how I did that, and then move on.
My mom does it with Math as well. Shes a math teacher, and occasionally she will add when she needed to multiply. She always catches it or the kids catch it.
My English professor (college as well), once said "DAMN!" outloud. I mean almost yelled it. Even though it IS college, and you can say those things, its only from our CULTURE that we think they arent. We all laughed though because it was a rare thing- a teacher, cursed, aloud, and after wards he didnt say "Oh no sorry!". No, he just laughed as well.

I think people should be able to speak how they wish, so long as they aren't too offensive. They could use slang, expletives like damn and hell, whatever.
But if you're an English teacher and you MISSPELL words, that is AWFUL. I know English these days places a much greater emphasis on "expression" and not form and grammar, but I think there still has to be a spotless example to be followed, even if it isn't taught like it used to be in spelling and grammar tests, etc. Reading an English teacher's work that contains errors, or getting an essay back with spelling and grammar errors uncorrected, means that some students may never know what the correct spelling of a word is, or the correct way to punctuate.
Having good spelling and grammar is valued in many professions in this world, and it isn't fair if students aren't given a reasonable chance to actually learn how the English language should be correctly expressed on paper, while at the same time learning how to express themselves.

Hehe, well for speaking out to that woman, I cannot. She is an extremely insane woman who enjoys making her students suffer. Everyone who has had her, hates her, even the teachers! I would not be surprised if she would refer a student for correcting her, she is that insane!
Also, I meant that she misspelled words on the BOARD, not in speech. I do not have perfect speak, I cuss a lot, and I would not expect other teachers to have perfect language. The thing that gets me mad though is that this woman insists that she is the BEST English teacher in the whole school! She insists that she is always right! When students speak against her opinions, she offends them, she criticizes everyone for one thing or another, and, though she never cusses, students have been reduced to tears by how she speaks to them.
Plus, she is so crazy, she actually married a building!
Also, she made us read a story she had been editing for four years and there were at least 3 simple grammatical errors in it!
Sorry for the rant, I just despise the woman.

Correcting a teacher is like a form of art one needs to perfect over time... of coarse I have not perfected it myself but I can so relate to your story. I too had a crazy teacher just last semester. She had retired SEVERAL years ago but just came coming back. Eventually she made a spelling mistake and I corrected her on it... she thanked me... but never gave me my credit.... depending on who your teacher is, I would just sit back and ignore the mistakes. Just make sure you know the proper material, just copy down board or overhead notes in your own interpretations.
Isn't it weird that male teachers are so more relaxed than female teachers? Sorry, I went off topic there...
