"Some of the decline represents a positive trend: young people getting more eduction [sic]."
A particularly unfortunate spot in the article for the editor to have missed a misspelling. Even in 2015, surely they had spellcheck?
- coldtea 6y ago>Even in 2015, surely they had spellcheck? Well, eduction is a word, so it would have spelled ok.
- rossdavidh 6y agoAha! I have learned something today! Although, in this case, I'm pretty sure they meant education, unless this is some sort of very subtle metaphor. But yeah, spellcheck would not know that, you're right.
- username90 6y ago"getting more education" is correct usage. Getting education and getting educated are two different things. People can get education without getting educated and vice versa.
