"Stephen C. Bra?"  I'm sorry,  I can't support that!
 
How about the stores which just have little pictures on the cash register of
the  Fries,  Cokes,  Big Mucks,  etc.?  Now you not only don't need to know
math,  you don't even need to recognize numbers themselves.
 
I could be like Beanie and scream "Help,  Cecil,  help!'  but I fear no one
is going to rescue me/us from a lot of this dumbing-down.

Stephen C. Bra?  That surely raises a titter or two.
