"gay" is no longer used to mean happy... except at virginia.

There is actually a controversy about this. Their little "Good Old Song" which sounds like the New Year's song, has the line "where all is fine and gay," to which some students, since the 70s, yelled after this line either "I'm not gay!" or "NOT GAY!"

For audio proof, here is a video of it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR3TUWg7DTk&feature=related)

borrowing and carrying.

I think they are perfectly good words to teach kids arithmetic, but the education establishment is against me on this. Words such as regrouping, compose, and decompose are the preferred words.

[SoonerBOI]

Chivalry...because it is dead?

[SicEmBaylor]

Chivalry...because it is dead?
Chivalry is dead because of feminism.

End.
