You can't have too many apostrophe's

I'm done. When the question is: What is the criterion for illiteracy," I'm out, since it's a game of nothing more than intellectual regress. This is why I address you as "MrObfuscation". As a parting handful of sand as I exit the sandbox, Google "illiteracy violent crime" and see what you get.

Blessings to you, no hard feelings. :)

Thoughts of a (somewhat) innocent bystander:

This was an interesting thread and became especially so when Douglas_schroeder chimed in. Very thoughtful perspective Mr. Schroeder.

Abucktwoeighty is right. Mrtennis makes my day, too. I'm just too kind to say what...

Then Glory, well, was Glory in all his glory!

You guys are all too much and that's meant kindly. Thanks for the mental stimulation and especially for the big smile I'm now wearing. Quite an eclectic group, yet somehow it works. Sort of...

Remember,"Write drunk, edit sober." Not the other way around!

When I was a child in the 1950s I remember a comic book story of visitors from outer space. The aliens were hovering above Washington, sending strange signals to our government and military.

The code was finally translated and the officer typing it was being pressured and rushed. He handed the translation to the commander and said, "Wait, I may have made a mistake, let me read that again."

The General ignored the typist, read the message and ordered our aircraft to strike the space ship. The aliens retaliated and our planet was disintegrated.

The text on the page read, "Deceive us and we will descend upon you." The pressured code breaker hit the letter D when he meant to type the letter R.

The message was friendly, "Receive us and we will descend upon you."

In this case, one error was earth shattering :^).

Albert, that reminds me of the premises created in the opening scenes of a great movie - Brazil.
