Incidentally none of his books published or as yet in the works have vulgar language in them.
So true. And the worst journalist I ever worked with had a master's degree in journalism from Northwestern, one of the top two J-schools in this country. (The best reporter I ever worked with never graduated from high school and spent 12 years in prison.) Back in the Jurassic era, I was associate editor of a Long Island weekly newspaper. Every week I read through the letters to the editor. Every letter I ever saw from a teacher or educator was chock full of writing errors. Your brother didn't suck at English. He was just bored out of his skull in English class. I am convinced the nation's so-called educators sign some sort of secret pact to teach every topic in as dull a manner as possible!

I learned from the best in the 40s and 50s. Teachers after that are indoctrinated Marxists
