So you say it should read "Repeating in more important THAN thinking", but I don't think that's right either.

That is the danger in cutting and pasting…if a mistake is in the system it replicates until no one challenges it.

Just like presence. With a dead URL you have none…which leads me to question…Who are you and why would you care?

Seriously, redrock? You read that entire post and you felt so incredibly compelled to leave a comment about the author's grammar? Really? You must be such an awesome person that you have to troll blogs looking for such extraordinary mis-uses of the English language and let them know about poor usage of pronouns and adverbs. You rock. Keep it up.

BTW, your site url doesn't work.

My comment is that it is obvious that whomever wrote the post wasn't paying attention in English class. In points number 1 and 3 in "Our Education System is Broken" the word then is used when the correct word is "than". Number one should read…"Repeating in more important THAN thinking".

I see this all the time with words like there and their, then and than, your and you're etc. I am not an English professor, but I just think it makes the point a little thin, when you can't use the proper words to make your point!

Here's my take on that list, Wayne.

1. If you don’t think, you’re doomed to repeat, or to forget.

2. Always respect authority, but obey within the confines of your conscience.

3. Showing up is half the battle, and how you conduct yourself is equally important

4. Show wisdom in applying what you’ve learned. Let your principles dictate the hierarchy.

5. If you stop learning, you cease to grow and to truly live.

6. Knowledge spurs imagination. Without imagination, all progress would halt.

7. Mistakes are unavoidable. Learn from them and keep moving forward.

8. Accomplishments can be achieved in a multitude of ways. Keep your mind open, and your standards high.

9. Knowledge and belief are closely intertwined, and should be delicately balanced in order to avoid bias and instability.
