Ferrari Mailing List: Re: stupidity of the press

[Misc (misc]

Hey, 8th grade is rocket science.  In my earlier life, we wrote technical
reports and ran them through a grammer check program set at the 3rd grade
level....

Because they ARE stupid!  My brother decided to get a second degree in
journalism because he likes to write.  He quit the program because he was
required to write at the 8th grade level.  Nothing more elegant or in depth
was permitted.  The sad thing is, they wouldn't write that way if it wasn't
the highest level that the majority could understand!!!

I didn't see the conference but I'm sure the reporters were asking ignorant,
leading and inflammatory questions.  They won't be happy until they can
persecute someone.  Read: Make the news.
