No, if they were treating us as Children they would know that with our
superior ability to develop language skills we would not need their
"help". If a 55 year old can deal with this a 12 year old can do it with
ease. Children would have less trouble with Britishisms than copy
editors. On the other hand I *am* glad they decided the best course
of action was to keep our spirits up....
