Old Sayings

[tdavies@netrover.com]

Just another one that is most often misunderstood - but
is used to suuport a position.

"The exception proves the rule."

"Prove" originally meant "tests" - which makes much more sense
if one thinks about it!

And, incidentally, I see the SATs have decided to include
an essay. Well, that's a major step forward. But one has to
wonder, with their record, how they'll evaluate the essays.

Cheers, all.
