Odd. I can pretty easily say something tastes bitter, sweet, salty or sour, but i'll be damned if you ever hear me say, "Gee, this tastes umamiey."

Compare with "savory". You've probably said that before.

The thread title seems to imply that schools are doing a poor job based on teaching information we now know to be somewhat incomplete.

Sure, why not.

Sine, after your comments on Calculus and the Monty Hall problem (among other things), it's a bit hard to take you seriously as an education critic.

Why depend on me? The article already says it that we were taught wrong.

And how long does it usually take for a schoolbook to get updated with new information? I doubt this is even in today's schoolbooks.

Five instead of four is not what I consider "dead wrong."

It's more of the location-based taste system, which quite frankly, I never believed in the first place.
