@Foofie,
Quote:Since English is the language that Brits did develop, they tend to have a command of it, without formal education beyond grade 12;
Parading your ignorance once again, Foofie. One has nothing to do with the other.
Quote:however, you're not allowing for "downward mobility" in your analysis above and that makes me wonder whether your formal education continued into what we Americans call college.
Ah yes, that wonderful American institution called "college", where US students are turned into Grammar Dunces; where students are fed propaganda that masquerades as History classes.
Quote:If I was going to learn anything on this forum it is likely to come from some of our Irish-American posters, that really relish literacy, once a price wasn't on their heads for learning to read (compliments of the British), in my opinion.
Here you are, again, another American hypocrite, pointing fingers.
Consider how many innocent people from countries all over the globe have been prevented from getting an education because of US predations on their countries, from the US installing all those brutal dictators, stealing the wealth that should have gone to schooling, not to mention food.
That GI bill sure was money wasted on your "education".
