Interesting information.

Gregory Dall needs, however, to learn to write a sentence. According to his first sentence, Maya Obama had three parents.

“Maya Soetoro was born to Indonesian businessman Lolo Soetoro and American cultural anthropologist Ann Dunham and half-sister to the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama.”

I am not a linguist by any means but according to grade school grammar rules I would think that the sentence says that not only does Maya have three parents but the third parent is Barack Obama who is half-sister to the 44th president of the United States.

My seventh grade teacher is no longer living so I cannot consult her.

Now and then I do a big rant about the deterioration of language skills in this country, some of you who have a classical education should help me out with this.
