Has anyone else see this blog post about car seat safety? A couple of my facebook friends have shared it. I'm wondering if it is someone from here (or a friend of someone on here). If it is, good job! If not, someone tell her to come join us! :)

I skimmed it and generally liked it. It's a bit long for me and the tone is a little frenetic but that's why I benefit from forums as opposed to blogs. It might not have felt long if I'd read it before I'd had my daughter and gotten into car seats. (In other words, if it were new info.)

The only trouble I saw during my skimming was that she often uses the word "prove" where I wouldn't. For example, "Statistics prove . . ." I'd prefer that she use the word "show" or "indicate" rather than prove . . . and if I'm getting really picky I'd prefer "data" rather than "statistics" . . . but maybe that's a personal science/math hang-up. I don't disagree with the message or even the data interpretation, just the wording.

Totally agree with the misuse of the word prove. It is nice to have another mathematician here. ;)

Prove faux pas aside, I enjoyed it when I ran across it on FB. I was wondering if it was someone here...:cool:
