1. Reads like Obama reports that USA is under siege by foreign leader.

Leave off the dash, brainiacs.

[Hayabusa]

21. I'm all for public education

but this is clearly the best argument against it!

[Brother Buzz]

2. Weird

[pinto]

3. LOL. I guess RJT's inventory doesn't include a Spell Check. Maybe they could rent one?

[AndyA]

4. Right winger

Improperly spelled words and incorrect punctuation define right wingers, aka "low information" voters.

[TrogL]

5. sleigh, sleight, neighbour, neigh, weigh, inveigle...

[CBGLuthier]

8. weird foreign science

that little mnemonic is kind of useless.

[11 Bravo]

9. Mom taught me, "i" before "e", except after "c"; or sounding like "a", as in "neighbor" or "weigh".

[Roland99]

13. "and on weekends and holidays and all throughout May!"

[Nye Bevan]

14. I will contemplate that rule at my leisure (nt)

[TrogL]

15. that doesn't work for "sleight"

[hughee99]

17. That's WEIRD.

You'd think as a SPECIES we would have developed SUFFICIENTLY that SCIENCE would come up as a better rule than this. There must be some way to SEIZE the initiative and come up with some rule in the same VEIN as this. Perhaps some FEISTY FOREIGNER can help with THEIR better understanding of various languages.

I heard that rule when I was little, but it's mostly bullshit.

[SidDithers]

19. There are actually more exceptions to the rule, than instances of the rule...

the British program QI had a great discussion about it a few years ago. Lee Mack was pretty hilarious.

6. Unless your name is Einstein...

7. I'm always amazed that anyone who has their shit together

enough to run a business could be stupid enough to wear their politics on their sleeve. It leaves potential customers to make a choice as to whether they agree with your politics or not,you're losing customers because of it even if you gain a few who agree with you.

[TrogL]

10. How about "Christian" businesses?

Up here they've got their own phone book (granted, it's fairly slim), the first thing you see when you walk in the store is religious stuff (kind of odd for a lock store) and the first thing they say to you has a dog whistle in it.

I usually respond "Blessed be" and it goes downhill from there.

[EC]

12. I always figure their merchandise or cooking

whatever they are selling has to be really bad if they need Gods help to sell it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. Whenever I see them down here, I write on Yelp that I would never do business

with someone who brings politics/religion to their trade.

We have a lot of dumb Auto Mechanics down here.

11. It's a free country as long as its freedom to be ignorant .

n.t.

[randome]

16. The misspelling of 'separate' bugs me because it's an easy rule to remember.

Two E's on the outside and A's on the inside.

I also had the books of the Bible drilled into me at an early age but now get them confused with the months of the year.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, July, August, September, October...
