I would be very surprised if that erudite person has not also shared his/her opinions on the topic of education.
I have observed that--more often than not--the folks who hold themselves out as being experts on the subject of education are those who give the least evidence of having received much education. In the district where I used to teach, that included several members of the Board of Education.

Something about this speaks of trollery, or did he just get 'continent' correct on a lucky roll?

In regard to the inappropriate apostrophe, consider the case of a friend of mine, who was educated overseas, and is a Registered Nurse.

Almost weekly, he sees memos titled "Attention all nurse's".
On several occasions, he has notified his supervisor--who was educated in The US--that "nurses" should not have an apostrophe when used in that context.

Each time, her response was, "Are you sure?"
His response each time was, "Yes, I am sure. You can look it up in any grammar book if you don't believe me."

Yes...you guessed it...a few days later, another memo inevitably appears, bearing the title "Attention all nurse's".
As a result, he has given up on his attempts to educate his supervisor.

I don't usually go looking at random people's facebook pages, but for this one I did. She seems to be a real person. She's a big fan of country music and racism.

I recently read about a woman who was getting married, and wanted the Taco Bell Cannon when she walked down the aisle.
