[etni] Re: Fw: A Question of English

Regarding the question  from Henry about-
  "...unable to see the implied error. Can anyone else see it?"
  The morning news show on WBAL-TV in Baltimore has a
"Water Cooler Question of the Day". Michael Turniansky tells
me a recent question was
"Should mandatory drug testing for steroids be required for high school 
athletes?"

  I'm too tired to figure out how the the sentence could be phrased to express 
what I think the author meant, but he probably didn't mean to ask if the 
steroids should have mandatory drug testing! - not to mention the problem that 
"mandatory" means it's "required".  

  As long as I'm writing to the list, if you've never participated in an ACCT 
course, I'd like to recommend that you fill out the form in the most recent 
ETAI Forum and run to the mailbox to make sure you are not too late to reserve 
a spot for yourself. I participated in the course a few years ago, with nearly 
the same star-studded cast of teachers, and had the most amazing educational 
experience of my career!
          Happy pre-pesach teaching,
              Mitzi
