You just said it! The word "in." That is what was throwing me for a loop because in the quote they use the word "for." The prepostion "for" to me means the entire duration of a hundred years. Whereas "in" would mean sometime within that hundred year time frame but no the duration.

"It is a mere interpretation of written word, as far as I am concerned. Having 
taught in the states, I understand the interpretation, but I still do stand 
by my own."

Yes, I mentioned that it's just an ambiguous sentence (and perhaps a grammatical error with "for"?). But as I said I see your point and yours does make more sense. The "for" just threw me off for a second. By the way, I looked at the UK edition (I get them from amazon.uk) and it does make more sense. Thanks again for your reply!
