Just today I saw a sign in a store window that read "...buy it in hour store ore shop on line".
Must've learned to read using the "see and say" method.

It may be that so many people acquired their vocabulary from TV instead of books. How many would recognize "melee" if they saw it in print? How many know that the Malays are an ethnic group?

I know a retired HS teacher who is always bragging about modern education. My impression of him is that his education is very narrow. I'm afraid he is typical.

See, I'm just bitch enough to go in and be loudly puzzled about what on earth that sign says and what language it's in.
