I was driving along Golden Lantern in Dana Point earlier this month, when I saw this license plate holder in front of me. "My wife is better then yours". Well, first of all, that's just stupid. That Corolla driver has never met Dr Desert Flower, and she is the best wife in the world, so wrong on the premise. But look more closely, "then yours" indicates the driver doesn't understand the difference between "than" and"then" (it's simple, google it, Corolla guy). But if I assumed this was intentionally grammatically structured as accurate, and that the driver was implying "First of all, my wife is better, then, your wife may be 2nd best" he's lacking a comma, so that is not accurate either. Another failure of the American education system.
It is nice to drive around California and see very few "Truth Fish", W, "Rhino Hunter" or anti-Darwinian placards besmirching my field of vision when I am at a stop light or parking lot (as there always were in GA, SC, and Arizona). There's alot more "Hope", Obama/Biden, Evolve Fish, Wiccan, Coexist, Surfer, and laid back emblems, stickers, plate holders, and placards.
