My Aunt who did teach English at Wray High, would have slapped me silly. I would like to consider the text above as a 'style' of writing that I proudly use.

If so, the district should be spending more time on grammar. Re: "raising the cackles on the back of the publics hair" These are your words from the above story. First of all, the term publics is supposed to be the possessive public's. "Raising the cackles" is a misuse of the term, "raising the hackles." Hackles are the hairs on the back of a dogs neck that are raised in response to fear or anger. It would make more sense if the hackles were raised on the public's neck. "Cackles," as defined by the Oxford dictionary, are sounds made by a bird. Did you attend Wray public schools? If so, the district should be spending more time on grammar.
