So much to write

about, so little time ...

Math

text choice will be good for students

One

Citizen's Perspective

As reported last

week, the Fayette County school system has announced its choice for

math textbooks. McGraw Hill was selected for the elementary grades,

taking 56 percent of the overall vote.

Surviving

Reality TV, Part 2

MURPHY

Laugh Lines

As I write this,

Survivor 2 is set to premiere. Thus begins the second great experiment

in reality television, being that the first Survivor supposedly changed

the world on the little screen forever in its reality of 16 virtual

strangers being stranded together in the most tense and primitive of

settings. Happens to me all the time; I call it a family reunion.

gas and/or other services provided by Peachtree to its customers.

this week's Citizen when I noticed something that I couldn't help responding

to. The write-up in the Pet Talk ad had some of the most atrocious grammar

that I have ever seen in a publication. In one fell swoop, the writer

of this ad has demonstrated a lack of proper punctuation, improper subject-verb

agreement, and a switch from first person to second person within the

same paragraph.
