My friend had sent me the link to that, saying: "Seeing as how you are an English (he meant the subject) person..."

I laughed a lot. But people do make mistakes...

This saddened me though...apparently the driver of the car was texting while driving, and crashed, killing everyone in the car. This gives yet another reason to not use your cell phone and drive at the same time.

That happened near where I live...it was all over the news here.

You feel bad for them, until you hear that they weren't even supposed to be on the road that late at night because the driver had a junior license. Add to that the fact that there were five teenage girls in the car...and then the fact that the driver was texting, and you have a recipe for disaster.

People really can be stupid, can't they?


So it appears. *sigh*
I'm not trying to bump up the Thread by posting twice, but I just felt the need to reply to this.
Now THAT, is pretty sad.
But I find it hard to feel much sympathy...
They might as well have tied cincerblocks to the back on their car and driven out on the road near a major holiday.
They were asking for it!
The sheer stupidity of it all.

I suppose you're right. But I still feel for them because they were so young, and yet so reckless. I wonder: If they had foreseen that coming, would they still be texting?

Well, I don't really mind the whole "Endeavor/Endeavour" thing.

I am American, and probably would've made the same mistake, had I been making the banner...
