George Washington couldn't tell a lie; Richard Nixon couldn't tell the truth; and Donald Trump couldn't tell the difference!
Good joke, but you can't use difference to compare 3 things. It should be "What are the differences among George Washington, Richard Nixon, and Donald Trump?"

(23,314 posts)My mom used to charge me a quarter for each grammatical error. At 50+ years old, I still feel stress when I use 'lay' and 'lie' fearing I'll misuse it.
Ha - that made me laugh.
Alright, how about this one - I work with people, some of them very intelligent, who will write "suppose" instead of "supposed", as in "I'm suppose to be in a meeting in 5 minutes".
Make me crazy.....
