I can only find one Internet

I spend a lot of time on the Internet. I can't imagine how much time I'd waste if there actually were multiple Internets for me to surf.

Although it's pretty sad that the two men vying to be the most powerful man on the planet discuss foreign policy, the economy, the environment, the job climate and the war in Iraq, and all anyone's gonna remember is that Bush apparently doesn't realize how many Internets there are.

Golly, I think I've been on the wrong internet all this time!

Maybe Bushie is confusing the all-porn naked republican chick internet with the regular ol' internet the rest of us use regularly at work and don't get fired for firing up. Or, maybe, let's make a stretch here, he's just a moron ... or is that morons. Hmmmm ...

Pedants routinely write Max Barry (author of the scary and funny Jennifer Government) about his usage of the word internet with a lower-case I. They say any network of networks (that is, any linked networks) constitute an internet but not necessarily the Internet.

Make of it what you will. My feeling, however, is that when the citizenry chooses to focus on an accidental plural misspoken during public address, they're buying into... something. If we think he's stupid we might be lulled into thinking he's harmless.

My point is, I think the pedantry weakens the mocker more than the mocked in this case. Keep your eye on the ball.

Oh, way to go. You broke Chris. He's very fragile. Now I get to work with Rain Man over there until he recovers.
