Oh boy, this sent me down a memory lane. I remember arguing long and hard with my math teacher in elementary school that "two times as massive" and "two times more massive than" are not the same thing, but she did not agree. That's the point where I learned that the grownup world is weird and sometimes it's easier to just smile and nod.

For me, it was the science teacher in middle school who insisted that rivers couldn't flow north, because on a globe, north was up.

Even pointing out the Nile didn't change her mind; I imagine there's a denial joke to be made there.

"That's the point where I learned that the grownup world is weird"

That's a generous thing of you to say.

How many people really want to be proven wrong? I'd like to think I am. Maybe I should make a t-shirt:

    Happy to proven wrong *

    * But only by people who reciprocate
