>>I was referring to the basics: Readin, Writin and Rithmetic - the three
R's. BTW: How come there are 3 Rs in this often quoted phrase? Isn't
'Rithmetic' supposed to be Arithmetic? I work with people every day that
can't use a ruler, can't write a sentence that can be understood, can't
figure simple percentages or even multiply 2 numbers together, and can't be
corrected without taking it personally, as some sort of racial attack.

Are you implying that the only individuals guilty of the above offenses are
those of a racially diverse background? If that was not your intention you
might want to give your posts a "PC" check before sending them off to a list
with such a large readership.

Just my $.02.
