Quote:President Obama's inauguration speech contains an error that may well be of linguistic origin. He said: "Fourty-four Americans have now taken the Presidential oath". That is false. Obama is the 43d American to take the Presidential oath. Obama's slip is probably due to the fact that he is accounted the 44th President.
Oh, for goodness sake, what an ace in the whole, I fail to understand this. ( can one explain these mathematics to a dummy? )
