“Six of the nine postcards spell the word “Jihad” correctly, while the others are incorrect.”

Can’t spell Jihad? Yep, that seems like American high-schoolers.

From PUBLIC HS of course.

Do not leave one child behind, but if you have to, stop the progress of all other children.

That may well be, but consider this: Imagine Arabic is your first language, and that some European language (indicated by the crossed sevens) was your second--they don't cross the sevens in England. English is your third language. How much trouble might you have transliterating "jihad" into English?
