So what you are saying is that the idiotically imprecise phrases used
when you were in elementary school are somehow satisfactory for use here
as an adult (ostensibly)?  What a joke! 

I also have to question the quality fo the school you attended - I'm not
an old man, but thte elementary and secodnary schools *I* attended
contained a great dael of materails regarding North American aboriginal
peoples, their origins, and we were certainly never taught that
Europeans 'discovered' a damn thing.

Look who's talking, Mr Defect. We have a problem with your posts that
needs to be examined.  In your sentence above, you use the word
'remember' instead of 'remind' - in this case, it was clear what your
addled little mind was thinking.

However, given your rather scurrilous views on other things, and the
fact that your newspaper is a rag, it was far from clear that you meant
'the French did most of the Eurpoean exploration of North America and
first' when you said that the 'Canada was discovered by Frenchmen.'  I
took it as a slight against Native peoples and thought you a puke.
You've given no one any reason to have any other view of you.

If so, he we the guy paying attention to what was being said.  For a
journalist, you sure don't seem to be too interested in accuracy and
precision.
