On Friday, we received an e-mail from the faculty leadership at our campus informing us that we do, indeed, have a faculty chair for the upcoming accreditation process. I've done that job the last two times that we've gone through the process, and I'm glad to see someone else take up the challenge this time.
Fearless Leader decided to respond to the announcement by letting the entire campus know how grateful she was that the person had agreed to fulfill this important campus obligation. In fact, she characterized his acceptance as "graceless."
Sigh.
Then a few hours later, apparently after someone had e-mailed or spoken to her, she sent out a corrected version of the e-mail. Now she characterized his acceptance as "graceful."
Sigh.
Is it too much to ask that Fearless Leader, who has several college degrees, after all, know the difference between "graceless" and "graceful" and "graciously"?
