nerd alert

Today I learned that there's a new version of new math driving parents nuts, and as someone who learned math easily the conventional way, I'm confident that it'll destroy America. I've seen physics taught the same way, and it's fine for 'physics for poets' classes, but if you really need to know it, new math ain't gonna get it done. So not that anyone asked me, but I really think they ought to save the new math for the people who are never going to use it.

And in great moments in self-discovery, I learned that I'm an editor for a reason: I love finding mistakes. I don't need to wave them over people's heads or anything, I just like finding them, like a golden retriever and a good stick. I am such a nerd.
