I thought this was a joke headline till I actually read the piece .
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-42570861 I would expect an average 6 year old to know what continent the larger countries are proper to , but it seems that our education system is quite happy to churn out would be media studies entrants who are clueless of the world they inhabit .  -------------------- Si non prius succederent.......... relinquere

QUOTE (Strafin @ Jan 10 2018, 03:04 PM)  Or using the word simples at all! The compound steam engine was used in many applications including steam railway locomotives. Those which did not use compound cylinders were known as "simple" locomotives. More than one of these engines would therefore be known as "simples"!. Reference. |
