In the spirit of ironic linguistics, last week Riverside Elementary had emblazoned on its sign, "Florida writes good. 4th Grade."
Of course, if they're as good as they say, it should've said, "Florida writes well."
It is precisely this type of observation that earns Martin Prince a punch in the stomach from Nelson on the Simpsons.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm meeting other obnoxious grammar nazis at Taco Bell for some Burritos Supreme.
