You read Goddard's and it sounds o.k. Then you go to Montgomery's and you're hit with a 1-2-3 punch! West Point Graduate, Gulf War Vet, and a Prosecutor! Has anyone done any polling, yet?

David Jorgenson said that he has been happily married for 20 years to his wife, January (her first name). The person who translated this wrote that David has been happily married for 20 years in January (the month of). The translator used the word "enero" which is the Spanish word for the month of January. Additionally, apparently they don't capitalize month names in Spanish. It's a subtle miss and you could hardly fault the translator (unless the candidate submits the translation as well) since it's not a common first name and unless you knew the Jorgensons it wouldn't even occur to double check since grammatical errors are not unheard of in candidate statements that are used "as submitted".
