Today’s Best of the Web references this story from Reuters, the “news” service. Commenting, BOTW editor James Taranto says

Rather than castigated, Reuters should be congratulated. They have, after all, advanced the mathematical sciences to the aboriginal level, wherein counting often consists of “one, two, many.”
