The idea is that I can save my vocal cords by silently pointing to the appropriate poster(s). In extremis I can photograph the relevant bit and mail the snaps to the student… or colleague.
It's a shame that we have to spend so much time on basic literacy: clearly some schools are failing. It's not just pedantry - English is a stunningly flexible and subtle language, so an inability to utilise it well limits intelligent people to a horrendous degree. Get the basics right, then move on to the complex ideas you're trying to express.

I love, thi's post; i.e., where can I get these poster's?
Click on the 'packet of posters' link. They're $32 for the set (and cost another $18 to ship to the UK).
I love these - in fact, the university could REPLACE me with these. Shame they are a bit expensive (or maybe I'm just cheap) or else I would definitely get my own set. Looking at yours is fun, though.
