The United States depresses me.

The people I work with don't know what 'arbitrary' means. Or 'crone', even (I used 'crone' randomly the other day, and got confusion. I used 'arbitary' and was asked what it meant. And then was informed that about half of the things I say go over their heads, which I hadn't known. I just thought that they hadn't found my jokes funny, which, yeah, they didn't, but for a totally different reason than I thought.). This is a clear failure of U.S. public education systems.

Oh, I'm so looking forward to going to college again. Because... damn.

But it's not just the United States! I bet if you went to China or Russia or Djibouti a lot of people wouldn't know what "crone" and "arbitrary" mean.

Er. Speaking of bad jokes.
