They do that in the US too.
Check the high school syllabus.


But I have a question for all of you guys.


Do you feel better after venting here?


You have to understand Richard - usenet forums exist as a place for people
who really do not understand as much about the topics that they berate, in
attempt to sound like they do. Thank goodness for YouTube and other
internet resouces for those folks to provide links to, so they can at least
look like they are so very knowlegable. So in the end - yup... they get to
feel good about venting about things.

One only has to look at how many topics some here are "expert" in to realize
the real truth...



Thanks, Mike.
I suspect you are right about all that.
At least it certainly seems that way at first blush.

And it was worth a chuckle...
