This wasn't the sentence you were making a big deal of; it
was "To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign
Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;" in
section 8.

I neither deny nor affirm your statements, since I am unprepared
to argue both sides of the matter.

Quatsch.  The mutation of language is a matter of fact.  (Although I
recognize it, I do not consider it an adequate excuse for abuse
of the language, but that's another matter.)  I fear you live in
a paranoid world of conspiracy.

I suspect I would agree with you about the declining standards
of teaching.

I'm not sure what the second clause in the latter sentence means.
What's the antecedant of "it"?
