Well, to get really grammatical and careful on spelling...

Shouldn't the thread be entitled, "Are our children learning"? And in addition, it's ironic that you, Stryker, would pose the question about the typo when you get type the word wrong yourself. lol

By the way, the title of the thread and the "mistake" in the original post were intentional on Stryker's part..... you didn't seem to pick up on that fact as quickly as everyone else did.

Actually the quote "is our children learning, is not my quote, but that of the Bastian of the English language, the butcher of the spoken word, He has declared a war on terrorism, and a war on the English language... Ladies and Gentlemen the President of These United States, George W. Bush.........

(I cant believe you guys didn't know that?! UGH my genius is lost on the simpletons!)

Unlike others in this thread, I'm not going to pretend I'm not an idiot -- but gee, it sure is nice to know I'm not all alone.
