Last night I went and found the article on line. 
What I really found facinating was that this
particular sentence had been studied by 30
grammatical experts who all said there were no
grammatical mistakes.  It was one lone high
school teacher who found the mistake and then
worked to have the mistake corrected.  Both sides
had experts who supported their opinion.  It took
an independent panel of experts to make the final
ruling that there was indeed a grammatical
mistake.  The test givers stated that the
grammatical structure was now used commonly
enough so as to make it correct.

have been able to point out to a teacher that
ain't really is in the dictionary)
