Remember the British two lines poem by Andrew Marvell?

It was edited with American grammar because it felt like it was wrong to the eyes of a bunch of hooligans online. Not people from the poetry clique but a bunch of creepy bullies that go around-the-clock attacking anyone they seem to hate because they might not be American.

Thank you for the exposure, this issue will be seen world wide  - it has too ..... these editorial guidelines will be more exposed and seen as a mean on writers to become an ingredient for the same potato soup as useless mashed up culture.

My wife was a volunteer at a Library, back then in the 70s, she had to stick labels on some history books, saying "this book is not for kids under 6yrs old"...

What kid at that age knows how to read history books or understands it?

"Though my father was Norwegian, he always wrote his diaries in perfect English."

-- Roald Dahl                          thumbsup

Jonas Gahr Store quotes:

"Norway will be recognized as an open democracy with the rule of law, with the universal human rights, and with the broad international engagement on the international scene taking upon ourselves responsibilities, because we are a privileged country."
