Day 8: Show Mercy to Someone

My "showing mercy to someone" is going to be a bit premeditated. The class I TA for has papers due tomorrow and I sometimes have a hard time grading these papers. I'm an English major with and editing minor and so I know a lot of grammatical rules nobody else does. Because I know them and have had it pounded into my brain that they are correct and important, it really can bother me when I see these rules broken. 

Yet, I know it is unfair to hold these non-English majors to the same standard I am held to when they do not have the same knowledge that I have. So, even though I will want to dock points on their papers for certain grammatical mistakes, I am deciding right now that I will be fair but merciful.
