One of the advantages of using WordPress for this blog is the detailed stats page, which shows me how many people read the blog and how you get here. Many hits come from searches on Google and other search engines, but I suspect some surfers have got a bit lost. Here are some of my favorite searches, with annotations, of course:
- essay my former instructor (I hope it wasn’t me)
- nigel pronunciation (that’s “ni” as in night, and “gel” and “angel”, with the stress on the first syllable, please)
- pronunciation of neigel (fail)
- just alive
- alive oder living englisch (ja!)
- english grammar+day off
- cursing at a teacher (one of my students?)
- teacher should avoid boring classes (ditto)
- a sorry to your teacher – essay (you get the picture)
- foreign film where teacher has to discipline two children, swearing
- i need an essay now
- i need a 5 paragraph essay now
- write an essay role of teacher to print
- five paragraph essay teacher (definitely shouldn’t like to my site!)
- daddy speak teacher
- funny passive verbs (rotfl)
- 5 paragraph essay content (contradiction in terms)
- the meaning of caught in the heavy rain
Of course, writing this post pretty much guarantees more of these hits in the future. So, for those of you look to plagiarize a five-paragraph essay about the qualities of English teachers, or if you want information on foreign movies about foul-mouthed child-abusers, or if you’re wondering whether English is a dead language, or if you just need a weather report … feel free to keep clicking.
Happy searching.
