Then you have a completely superfluous and misplaced clause in the middle ("educated society") and I'm still correct.

If he is referring to the educated society as a collective and speaking directly to them, then the sentence is grammatically correct.

Yeah, I see that.  It's way more fun to fuck with him, though.

You can keep a wooden stake in your trunk
On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.

It's the public education systems' intentional dumbing down of Americans to gain complete control and power for elimination.

It's probably that.

It wasn't the I/It problem.  You still don't see it?  I blame the Prattville school system.

That there is horsespit. Mrs. Winona Hall would never stand for language such as that. You would be thrown back down into the "basic senior English" class!

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

   OK, but why is "literally" any worse than the "officially" you used?  Have actual officials ruled on this?  If not, why would you use the word?  Or was that the entire point of your post, in some kind of cool satirical device that I was slow to pick up on?  Sometimes you guys confuse me.  I can't tell if I'm an idiot or if you are, but I'm thinking it's not me.
