During the filming of a promotional video for his "No Child Left Behind Act" at a school in New York a couple of days ago, Bush gave new meaning to the term, plural, by saying "childrens" instead of "children".

"As yesterday's positive report card shows, childrens do learn when standards are high and results are measured," he said.

The White House dropped the "s" in the official transcript. Ironically, he was trying to sell the centerpiece of his education policy.
