The mind boggles...

So I realize that the majority of my f-list is, in fact, European, but I know at least one of you is in an American studies program at university, so I challenge you: how many levels does this sentence fail on?

"In 1763 Thomas Jefferson began the constitutional period by starting to write a new constitution which he called the declaration of independence."

Interesting, you edited to add an error - 1763 marked the end of the Seven Years' War, the first battle of the American War for Independence is in April, 1775. Good thing we're not on Nut Cracker... and also, are women. ;-)

Also, you've missed a major glaring error, the one that caused me to open a fifth of bourbon last night.

AAAAAAAARGH. Dammit. I ALWAYS confuse 1763 and 1775. (But I'm only European, right?)

Errr, what error?

Don't leave me hanging! It's midnight here and my head hurts. Come tell me or I won't be able to fall asleep at tonight! I'm feeling stupid.
