I’m old enough to remember history before it was rewritten.

Happy 150th birthday!

Grampa’s a spry one, ain’t he?! LOL

“Happy 150th birthday! “

The rewriting did not begin 150 years ago. Back then there were too many men who would not stand for such a thing.

It is only the corruption of academia over the past 45 years or so that has allowed it to advance so far.

BTW, if you want to get those annoying “ ’ “ and similar glitches out of your posts, write your posts in MS Word and process them with this macro before you post:

Sub FixFRPosts()
‘Replace left quote; ^0147 ^034
‘Replace right quote; ^0148 ^034
‘Replace apostrophe; ^0146 ^039
Call ModifyLetters( “^0147”, “^034”)
Call ModifyLetters( “^0148”, “^034”)
Call ModifyLetters( “^0146”, “^039”)
End Sub

Sub ModifyLetters(OldText As String, NewText As String)
