Why?

Why should I learn a new language to understand a fantasy ?

I was elected to the school board in November and I just attended my second meeting.

The priciple of the HS offered a "new" way of grading.

Instead of using "quality points" (yeah, I DID ask what they were .. ), he wants to take the number scores and average them, giving a student a real picture of his grade(s)

I welcomed him to 1959 and cautioned him that in a few years something very terrible will happen in America and he aught to prepare for it.

Yes I DID say that publically and got everyone's attention, their glance and a few supportive comments (later)

I'm going to like this school board thing

It's not a new language -- it's English.

Occasionally, you might want to learn some new English words, though. Things change. If you don't know the new words and the concepts they represent, you won't be able to make a sound judgement about the changes.

You may well be right about the Principal's new grading scheme; you may well be wrong about BitCoin.
