Good point. Thing is it’s not just the education of those saying it, but also of (all) those reading it. It’s a joint responsibility. You see it here we’re people aren’t willing to put in the effort to understand others. Trouble is with Lewis millions of people read his words and newspapers report them to attract readers.
