In the very claim itself, Bauerlin utilizes poor grammar by using the phrasing “under” age thirty instead of “younger than.” Our knowledge bases have simply changed to include a different array of facts; instead of knowing who wrote the Messiah, we can fix any computer problem faster than most people in the older generation

to travel to the United States and see for myself what it truly feels like to be outside your own country. The complexity and the allurement of the Stanford University is breath-taking.
