  • Just a few thoughts to ponder :
    Real education is not what you think it is. In fact, most people have never received one.

    Today we think of education as a litany of scattered disciplines that you study for careerism and social mobility:

    Math is for engineers
    Medicine is for doctors
    Science is for biologists
    Humanities are for poor people (it’s okay, I was an English, Accounting and History majors)

    The philosophy of modern education is to pick a discipline, stay in your lane, graduate, and begin your career. But this is not what education is at all — for most of history, education was meant to set you free.

    A classical education taught you the seven liberal arts so that your soul could be liberated; freed from confusion and vice, ordered toward wisdom, and capable of living a meaningful life.

    How English Departments Destroyed Literature
    I got an A+ for calling Shakespeare transgender. But the problem is so much worse in English departments across the Western world.

  • English is very difficult to understand at times.


    For example:


    There is one silent “K” in knight.


    The “Ph” in phone is pronounced as a “F”.


    And there are three silent “K’s” in Democrat.


    So confusing.

  • If BadBunny’s singing was translated live (captioning), there would have been a bigger backlash, more ppl turning away from his show.
    Just because his music had a “good beat” doesn’t mean that the lyrics are good.

    This is one reason why we should teach foreign languages in high school like it was back in the day. But English should still be the main and official language of the USA.

  • What's with this dyslexic posting, I'm not saying speak the Queen's English; but If you are guilty of this I can only assume you are underage or just a low IQ picketer.
