For his student population, Ned offers this grammar exercise, culled from letters in the Nation's Paper of Record: "Just a few short years ago..."[Ned thought years had a more or less standard length.] "I truly believe..." [Very few persons are honest enough to state that they falsely believe.] "Up to twenty percent of students took out as much as thirty thousand dollars in student loans."[Essentially a content-free statement.]
Ned advises his friends to beware of and scorn such nonsense.
