Okay we're done We're done skimming That is alright what's
the correct way to write sentence three choices rejection Okay
so the big problem here is that public education is
capitalized Usually we only capitalized proper noun like barack obama
Albuquerque and mr volker are weird neighbor who crams his
guard with statues of himself but separate issue there anyway

a proper noun This makes it a common noun and

shmoop er may ask do we have to have quotation
marks here which we say no but it's a nice
touch which one might say well what if i don't
feel like it to which we say fine don't if
you want your paper to be mediocre Okay sorry we 00:02:24.03 --> [endTime] officially went too far with that scenario No
