well I just took my english AP test today and thought you guys might get a kick outta this On the the test you must answer what they call a data based question where you read 7 sources and incorporate them into your paper along with prior knowledge well wouldn't you know the question was Should the United States eliminate the penny? ohh I had a kick outta this one
well they did call it the penny it never mentioned the cent but I did comment on the removal of the dollar bill (but I hinted at letting the Canadians keep the name Loonie)
On a program called "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" they asked the question "how many PENNIES are there in a dollar? Note TV also calls those things PENNIES as does about 250,000,000 others.
... and on an English test, no less ! Normally, those guys are pretty picky about minor points; they truly make mountains out of mole hills. Spider, I think you have 'em on this one !
Brilliant! Pity we can't read your response to the question. And let us know when your scores come in, we're all rooting for you.
That's right ! Best wishes, spider. The AP program is a great deal. My kids did well. I'm sure you will, too.
