@FirasM I only have one thing to say. HA!

@cdrawn It was my S key and space bar a while back. My emails made even less sense as a continualstreamofwordswithnobreaks .....

@eshanabhangu @UBC This is appalling Eshana; you most certainly don't deserve this kind of abuse. Treat it with the contempt it deserves and take heart from the messages of support you are getting from across the UBC community.

@juliarburnham If it's the same event I am thinking of.... then you are in good company :)

[Simon Bates @simonpbates]

@derekbruff I did similar recently. 'Faculty development' became 'Faulty Development'....

[Simon Bates @simonpbates]

@FirasM Oh no, I fell for it (sucker for links like that!)

[Simon Bates @simonpbates]

@aaron_langille @NurseKillam @cambriancollege I feel good things will come of this :)

[Simon Bates @simonpbates]

Open Education snapshot at #UBC - in the last academic year, UBC students saved ~$2M by faculty using open texts and other t&l resources. Thanks to @infology and others for pulling all this data together! https://t.co/vrYp435Eqh
