I mean, the guy asks you for information, and you mislead him like that....I dunno, seems a little bush-league to me.
Now, where did I put that bag o' Kryptonite and bug repellent?
Since we are being exacting with the language, you are right: The World Wide Web contains information about spiders.
And the World Wide Web contains information about the use of the word education. I believe you meant information. The use of education as a noun in that context is outdated. Colloquial.
I dunno. Just sounds a little folksy nutsy to me.
Relax, it's the offseason.
