Move over Natinals, The Oriloes can’t spell either

Oriloes?

Maybe it was a tribute to pitcher Billy Loes. Didn't he play for Baltimore in the '50s?

I see Congressional hearings in the future. Or we will have a generation of kids who can't spell. Or know where Brazil is on a world map.

Step one towards "Idiocracy."

Baltimore education has gone to hell, ever since Wild Bill Hagy stopped his spelling lessons.

I like "Oriloes". It's mellifluous.
