On learning, and context and stuff

[innerbrat]

First, read this paragraph:

A newspaper is better than a magazine, and on the seashore is a better place than a street. At first it is better to run than to walk. Also, you may have to try several times. It takes some skill, but it's easy to learn. even young children can enjoy it. Once successful, complications are minimal. Birds seldom get too

...a bit after answering, my curiosity got the better of me, and I went to Google the first sentence-and-a-bit. However, your Learning training is obviously not drawn from online materials, as the one result was... this entry. Well played, IB. Well played indeed.

Pee. Ess. You got the 'correct' answer that I did.

[kadrin]

yaaaaaaaaay!

I feel clever now.

:-D

My sticking point (and that of the other woman) was 'magazines are clearly better than newspapers!'

I am disqualified from this as I've done the exercise before. Though it fascinates me that the same example is used on both sides of the pond.

Hahahahaha.

Sorry. Is it bad that I kept getting distracted by the bad grammar?

But once I saw that it was about kites after submitting my answer...okay, I can see it.

I like my title better, though. :-)

...hey! I considered and disregarded kites as an option because there's no way in hell you could make a decent kite out of newspaper! NO FAIR, PARAGRAPH. D:
