Today, while watching the movie Patton, I couldn't help but notice that signs referring to the US Army Signal Corps actually called that unit the Signal "Corp".

Although many people seem to think that declining literacy is something of recent vintage, I think that this 45 year old movie provides evidence that improper language usage is not just a recent phenomenon.

Clearly, that person wants his child to rise to the same level of...excellence...that he has achieved.
