That's funny. I've gotten several "Dear Editor" queries. I felt confused too. I'll only reply to messages that use my name or the name of my blog. I also like to get the impression that they've actually read my blog. Otherwise, I treat these messages as spam and hit 'delete'. Dear So-and-So should pay more attention. I have the feeling he'd have more success with bloggers if he used, oh I don't know, a name or something. LOL! That’s funny.

This, of course is the latin for 'from the pox-house', so one can assume he was speaking from a position of authority. Perhaps it was missing a space, and he meant ‘ex poxied’.

Besides, I am dying to know his name. BTW, the only time I have seen "expoxied" used, it was a misspelling of "epoxied" - apparently, you aren't glued together very well!

The last sentence in his response is classic. This was absolutely hilarious as Devourer of Books said in the first comment. The last sentence in his response is classic.

It's still really poor phrasing. What really galls me is that according to his website, he has been teaching English for more than thirty years! Oh, I know that’s what he meant.

Nice to know that I wasn't the only one. Or, not nice, maybe -- because that means he's annoying other people. Ha! Nice to know that I wasn’t the only one.
