To save money we are now hiring immigrants to do everything!!!!
Based on my experience with Staff who can't produce a newsletter without much editing from the Senior Pastor, I'm not sure anyone knows English anymore!!!!
My 8th grade English teacher made us memorize the definitions of the parts of speech. When it came to participles, she made us memorize every one in the English language because they are so hard to detect when diagraming a sentence: "about, above, beyond, down, during, except, for, from . . ." I hate memorizing, but once it's in my head, it does not leave easily!!!!!
Some things about multiplication tables / English are ONLY done by rote. My father even had the logarithm tables memorized! The days of carrying a pocket computer to class have ruined many an American student from a real education!
