    Reading the comments shows a lot of people do not understand satire, especially when the opportunity to talk trash about America/Texas/American education is on the line.

      Poe’s law. Maybe it’s satire. Equally possible it’s ignorance.

      The AVERAGE reading level in the US is seventh grade. We’re at the point where they might as well retranslate the Bible back to Latin because people can’t barely read it.

        Typical European fragility. They’ll be like “Murica dumb! Can’t do dates right!” but then they’ll shut their mouths real quick when people point out that Japan does it differently too.
