So my grammar professor, like I've said before, is approximately 80, walks as though she has a club foot, and speaks with a very raspy, irregular voice. I've also said that despite this, she is subtly funny in her own nostalgic way and occasionally witty, in a sense. Beyond this surprising humor, she also cusses intermittently.
