Jack, just back from dinner.
Abiding in a larger vitreous domicile than thyself -English not being my native
fleshy movable muscular process of the floor of the mouth- I do tend to overlook
my limited command of the proper grammar for effect sometimes.

Couple volumes of OED and a Webster thrown in. That's a trio of jugbugs to take your breath away. Probably about as bad as chainsaw and bowling balls.
Turning into the John and Jack show here; c'mon guys, nothing here to raise the eyebrow of erudition?

"As an English teacher, the ability to wield the English language with precision and clarity is something I aspire to (and often fail...)."
As you claim to be an English teacher, I hope you learned your students not to end a sentence with a preposition "to"
