Dear Santa!
Mom said that this year you will not bring me presents until I fix my tesis writing. Personally I don’t think there’s something wrong with it. Everybody knows what a tesis statement is, and how it should be written. But my Mom says I spend too much time playing the computer instead of working on organizing a tesis.

Please, please help me, Santa! I want bunny slippers so much that I will do anything to become successful in writing a tesis. Mom said that it’s going to happen as soon as I learn to spell tesis statement correctly. She says it has to be spelled like this: thesis statement. But all my peers are always looking for tesis writing tips. I don’t know whom I should believe: the majority, or my Mother.

One thing I know for sure is that you exist. I promise you I’ll work on my tesis writing, but if you promise to bring me bunny slippers this Christmas. Yours,
Nigel, 22

P.S. Dear Santa, this is Nigel’s Mom. He is 22, but he still doesn’t know that it is correct to spell “thesis statement”, “organizing a thesis”, “writing a thesis”, and “thesis writing tips”. Will you be so kind to bring him books on grammar and spelling this year? He’s got seven pairs of bunny slippers of all colors, but has no idea about writing.
