Grammar on White Cane Safety Day
By Stephen Kuusisto
Today is "White Cane Safety Day" and the President of the United States has
issued the following proclamation.

We do want to take a moment to reflect on the extraordinary achievements of our
nation's blind citizens and to remind Washington that 17 years after the
adoption of the Americans with Disabilities Act, it is estimated that 70 per
cent of the blind remain unemployed in the United States. I applaud President
Bush for his proclamation, though as an English professor I can't resist
pointing out that the opening sentence has a subject-predicate agreement
problem.
