...I was coming down here to post this, verbatim. Maybe to add 'and mother' to the list of family members. If you had said 'brother,' I would have been sure you were, in fact, my sibling. I'm still half-convinced of it.

Possibility: the writer knew perfectly well that was wrong, and was including it as Bartlett winkingly checking to see if the teacher would pick up on it.

Second possibility: the writer included this as an example of Bartlett being Old and therefore having Wrong Opinions Sometimes.

Third possiblity: the writer was an idiot who has the amorphous idea that Teaching In The Original is correct.

Aaron Sorkin, creator of this prime-time administration, responded, "Ic agan nic answaru"--in Old English, roughly: "no comment."

I went to a state college that was in a partnership with a community college and took one of my classes over at the community college. A of all, the state college degree got me into my dream job and past the median American income, and 2, the community college class was rigorous and I learned a lot. And iii, I don't have a third point but I didn't want to give up on that gag after only two.
