As Long as There Are Students, There Will Be Student Bloopers! And, thankfully, as long as there are teachers, there will be collections of those wonderful bloopers! This delightful volume was compiled by Caroline LeRow in 1887 - and it caught the attention of none other than Mark Twain, who wrote an equally delightful review of the book in Century Magazine. For example, did you know that... "Aborigines" were a system of mountains? "Alias" was a good man in the Bible? "Ammonia" is the food of the gods? A "capillary" is a little caterpillar? "Corniferous" are rocks in which fossil corn is found? An "equestrian" is one who asks questions? An "idolator" is a very idol person? To "irrigate" is to make fun of? A "parasite" is a kind of umbrella A "Republican" is a sinner mentioned in the Bible? (And, as Mark Twain points out, occasionally in a Democratic newspaper!) Our beautiful edition of this timeless classic includes Mark Twain's original review and introduction from Century Magazine - in which Twain also offers some insightful commentary on the American educational system that produced such bloopers in the first place! If you're looking for a good laugh, look no further than English As She Is Taught! NOTE: This book is a reprint from an electronic edition available from Archive.org. It has been OCR'd, proofed, and reformatted to make this edition more readable and more economical than other editions that may be available online.
