Plurals and Bushes

Hear this:
During his first presidential campaign, Bush -- who promised to be the
"education president" -- once asked: "Is our children learning?"


and this:
"As yesterday's positive report card shows, childrens do learn when
standards are high and results are measured," he said.

and this too:
Just a day earlier, the White House inadvertently showed how it tries to
prevent Bush from making even more slips of the tongue than he already
does.
As Bush addressed the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, a marked-up
draft of his speech briefly popped up on the U.N. Web site, complete with a
phonetic pronunciation guide to get him past troublesome names of countries and
world leaders.

"Childrens do learn," Bush tells school kids
