In line 12, “Don’t mess with Ms. Martinez.” is a piece of advice made more emphatic by the use of the imperative.

The expression ‘get their way’ (l.11) is an idiomatic expression which means are given the place they demand.

In line 9, “matter-of-fact” is spelt with hyphens to indicate it is an adverb modifying “tone”.

It is correct to report that Ms. Martinez informed that she had been called every name in the book.

The word “about” (l.23) is an adverb which means approximately.

There is a syntactical incoherence in the first sentence, since “few” (l.1), which is used for countable nouns, and “much” (l.2), used for uncountable, are used simultaneously.

The title of the article is a word play which makes it ambiguous.

The pronoun “These” (l.4) refers to texts.

The expression “Nor” (l.12) means not either.

The word “However” (l.11) expresses an idea of contrast.
