Ok, I have to write a gazillion papers for my history class, and I have run into problem.
I have to read these god awful articles, and then explain what the boring writers have written about(no clue), and blah blah blah...  :whaa: (I hate writing if you can't tell)

Well while reading this one article, I have come across a problem.  I have found a word that I do not understand.  Google was of no help, as was the dictionary...Perhaps it is a typo...

Quote
Less than qoo years ago these twelve men established the independence of English juries: they should make their own decisions, and must not be “led by the nose” by any court.

WTF is "qoo years"????????  400? 500? It would really help to know.....Why can't they just write freakin 400 or 500 or whatever it is...Do they have to be so snobby, and write freakin qoo...I don't have the time for this stupid crap..  angry5

Sorry I'm ranting now...Just want to finish this crap, so I can do something that doesn't bore the living s#%^ out of me.


EDIT:
Well, if it is to make any sense, it needs to be at least 400 years...300 years would not really make sense in context.  Basically I have no freakin idea  Very Happy

You must not change one thing, one pebble, one grain of sand, until you know what good or evil will follow on that act. The World is in balance, in equilibrium.  It is most Perilous. It must follow Knowledge and serve need. To Light a Candle is to cast a Shadow.

less than 900 years the magna carta came to be...could this be what they r talking about??...i love history Razz

Magna Carta
In 1215, England’s King John signed the
Magna Carta. Magna Carta’s article 39
provided “No freemen shall be taken or
imprisoned... except by the lawful judgment
of his peers or by the law of the land.” In
hindsight, “right to trial by a jury of his peers”
was read into the phrase “lawful judgment of
his peers.” The original purpose of Magna
Carta, however, was to reassert the rights of
powerful English noblemen against the king,
not to grant new liberties to the English people
at large.

In 1215, leaders of the medieval church banned the participation
of clerics in trial by ordeal. Without the clergy’s
involvement, trial by ordeal–which assumed that God intervened
to protect the innocent–lost its validity. At this point,
England turned to the panels of “free and lawful men” it
was already using in the assizes and in the presentment of
criminal suspects. These panels, the forerunner of modern
criminal juries, would now also determine innocence or guilt
in criminal cases.
