Awesome. _Now_ I get it!
Of course, it's very big of you to take the time to point out the
deficiencies (real or imagined) of public school graduates. Let's see
if we
can spot any other deficiencies while we're at it:
Now aren't you happy that your new Mac is using 25 year old PC floppy
technology at long last?
Hmmmm. I was always led to understand that a hyphen is used to join
two or
more words acting as a single unit before a noun. If that is indeed
the
case, "25-year-old" might work better in the above sentence.
Your math skills may, perhaps, be offset by a deficiency in English
skills.
Did your parents keep the receipts when they paid your (presumably
private
school) tuition?
Admittedly, the above is just a guess. I'm afraid my own writing
might well
betray the fact that I was never able to attend school at all.
According to
my parents, the workhouse was *my* only option. @_@
Anyway, I'm just trying to help! After all, supplying our mutual
deficiencies is what this board is all about.
Cheers,
James Fraser
Sorry James, I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers out there, just
trying to get my point across. As for the errors in my writing style,
you will have to forgive me. I am the result of a public school
education myself.
Just a message from Doug...
