So when they "must" speak English they mutilate the accent.

As I thought about the use of the tag phrase "eh?" by many Canadians,
I thought back to the use of a similar tag phrase used in Wisconsin

I've thought about copying Scantrons, but don't look forward to copying

You can also have students, before turning in their scantron, use a pen to play

I have a slide from the Myers text that shows that the ability to perceive
language differences between languages is actually gone by 11-12 months. This

I always drawn a wiggly pen line through the bubbles. Takes only a

The messages below came through on another mailing list but may

I don't know what this says but searching "pregnancy termination" produces
1,366 hits. After finding an article from the list of "pregnancy termination"
articles, I found the keyword "abortion" and clicked on it and got 24,943 hits.
So if they are censoring it, they are doing an inept job of it.
Similar to Rick, I was able to find articles about abortion. When I
searched for the "subject" of abortion, I actually got 79 results.
Going into one and clicking the keyword abortion returned the 24,943

I think it is because it is a population database, not an information database.
If you type in "abortion rates" you get plenty of hits.
