McKeever said. "Most of the team is swimming six
to nine events and should get good racing
experience."        . jz

will never be rocket scientists, four
years at an American university
should be long enough to use the
English language correctly.
But is it too much to ask for their
coaches to be literate? YesI
I did an informal unscientific
survey of three professors and three
students - all of whom's primary
language Is English - to determine lf
they could spot the grammatically
incorrect error of 'nor' instead of 'or'
In Coach Holtz' apology letter.
To my surprise and chagrin,
neither the journalism, criminology
nor English professor caught the
error.       Expectedly,    none   of   the
students asked caught the error,
either. •***-
In all fairness, the English
professor pointed out a grammatical
error I missed.
"There is absolutely no reason for
this situation to occur..." when "was"
was the proper word. Somebody could
- have manufactured a valid reason for
the brawl after thinking about it for a
day or two. but that wouldn't explain
why it happened when It did.
If university football coaches (or
students and professors, for that
matted do not know how to correctly
use three'-letter words instead of two-
letter words — anyone who ever stood
on the sidelines knows that coaches
use four-letter words proficiently —
then how can their athletes, who are
also supposed to be students, be
expected to speak and write properly?
