    Out of curiosity, is there a PhD in journalism in the US? Since journalism is not considered a science, a PhD can't be awarded in many countries.

    Ah, I see you can get a doctorate in those but that would be a D.L.A. and not a PhD.
    Interesting anyway. I didn't know that.

    PS: Had a look: a few universities in Europe run PhD programs in journalism yet often combined with other fields. Well, that's something. It seems to be getting more and more diversified.

    I thought PhD stood for doctor of philosophy. No hard science requirement.

    I was being facetious.

    I know. That's why I wrote out of curiosity.

    It does but the requirements are hard enough and most certainly not harder than in natural sciences if we take a look at the recent development.
    Anyway, we are digressing...

    Isn't that spelled "grammar" rather than "grammer"?

    A teacher comes to call on the family of Johnny, one of her students. Johnny answers the door.

    Teacher: "Hello, Johnny, is your mother home?"

    Johnny: "Nope, she ain't here."

    Teacher: "Well, is your father home?"

    Johnny: "Nope, he ain't not here, either."

    Teacher: "Johnny! Where is your grammar?!?"

    Johnny: "She done gone to bingo."

    Yeah, I think Ken wants to keep the vowels moving...especially the irregular ones.

    @Bobby, I want you to delete this hateful post! It should not be allowed on a respectable Forum such as this.
    Readers will remember this post because of your uncalled-for reaction to it. A mature person would not resort to writing with such rage!

    Trying to get it cranked up again, huh? There are 5 likes on that post from people who seem to agree with the statement.
    Rage? Nope, I rarely let being a little ticked off lead me to rage.

    Now, pull up your big boy pants and simply drop the subject. Plus,, you and I are both off topic.
