Regarding the March 13 Metro section headline "City Council Considers Slavery Apology, Cadet Case":
Former Navy quarterback Lamar S. Owens Jr. is not a "cadet." He and all students at the U.S. Naval Academy are midshipmen. Midshipman is a rank in the Navy. Students at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y., are cadets.
I would expect The Post to know this, given that the Naval Academy is in your back yard.

Minus Right Terminology
I'm no mathematician, but it seems to me the "easy" quiz show question posed in "Easy Does It" [Style, March 13] is quite difficult. The reporter, Paul Farhi, suggests that the "Twenty-One" game show scam would have been found out if one of the contestants had been asked "the sum of five times two."
If I remember my elementary school math, there is no "sum" of anything times anything. The "sum" of five and two is seven. The "product" of five times two is 10.
