Subject: RE: BS: Baby on board
meself, we need more pedants in our schools. The kids today can't even find America on a globe.Their command of the language is pathetic.

On the tv program, 60 minutes, Scott Pelly was talking about poisoned Lions in Africa, and he said ..they performed an autopsy.
WRONG
An autopsy is only performed on humans. If it's an animal it's called a necropsy.
The dumbing down of America is fed by people who should know better.
How many narrators say "Artic, or antartic"? Even Judge Alex doesn't know the difference between take and bring.
