I was checking out some General Motors bad news online this evening, and I saw this comment quoted from GM's Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner in an AP article:
"[Rick]Wagoner said the company believes the trend away from trucks and SUVs in the U.S. market is permanent and that the company is responding, with 18 cars or crossovers in development. But he said GM never could have predicted how quickly the change would come as oil prices doubled in the last year.
" 'We missed that, but I think us and 99.999 percent of the rest of the people in the world did too,' he said."
Oh Lordy, I hope that AP is misquoting Wagoner. I hope he didn't actually say, "us...did too." If he did, it just helps to support my view that good English leads to success in life, and bad English...don't.
