Re: Funny thing.....

Nigel, it's horrifying to me that our major universities here now offer remedial reading/writing courses for native English speakers.

My niece passed high school maths 20+ years ago without knowing the difference between a fraction and a decimal, or how to convert one to the other. Frightening really. She holds several university qualifications ...

Our species is very good at forgetting (e.g. Tourette's syndrome - after discovery, forgotten for about a hundred years ... ), and failing to recognise what is plainly before our eyes.
