Bruce and Dennis:

first, an IQ under 100 is a fairly poor IQ, but if you think it's good..... ok.

second, the FLDS only allow religious books approved by Jeffs, and textbooks with major sections removed. So that exempts a lot of books. Do you really think there aren't 10 million books in the world? And if so, and the FLDS aren't allowed to read them, do you really need a list? Wouldn't basic math do it for you?

third, the correct word is comprehend. That is what I wanted him to do - comprehend what I wrote. I could have said "understand", but I chose comprehend because I wanted to use that word. Both are correct and are synonyms. You can look up the word "synonym" if it's out of your scope of comprehension (or understanding.)

I'll guess you spent so much time criticizing my words that you probably didn't even "understand" (or comprehend) what I was actually saying. That's too bad. But you probably need the practice so it's all good.

And marrying your first cousin is just nasty. That's a dueling banjo kind of thing. But it's not like they have a lot of selection.
