Vehicular homocide?

[az]

...and "nucular" is a word now, too, I hear

Come on, accept it, everybody makes mistakes and errors, and it's not as if the leaders of the U.S. of A. are the kings of grammar or something. Heck, we had a misspelling in the preamble of our constitution (I think) that went undetected for 50 years. That doesn't make it any more right. Insisting on such only makes you look stupid. Besides, Doc, your spelling isn't exactly sterling, and it's no weakness to just accept that you've made a mistake. Stubbornly refusing to accept this is, though.

When my errors are typos, which come with the turf when you have neuropahies in both hands (esp. the left one due to surgeries) and can't feel the keys, not to mention that I'm too lazy to correct some of 'em

As for the current area of discussion; I'm not telling you how to spell or conjugate French, German or other modern Euro languages. I'm just reporting how English is being used in North America and how it got that way.

Ignorants using a non compatable form of Engrish should probably not make the cards for people that can potentially launch nucular mass-destruction devices.

Anywayz...homocide just doesn't exist, even if you really really want to think it into existence. Just say you meant it as a poetic license (from Latin homo and caedere etc) and you'll look good and women will want to love you long time.

this story is true and the flash card was wrong, one just wonders HOW it might have come to be wrong and then come to be handed to the Republican VP to use on camera.. in my experience most teachers (particularly in the early grades) are smug liberals who would love to have had Quayle make a fool of himself on national TV.

Yeah, because that man never looked like an idiot on national TV without help:

Hey KvH, can you use the word "liberal" without prepending "smug" to it?

[Lizzard[MPE]]

Ha that happened about 4 miles from my house.

Hey KvH, can you use the word "liberal" without prepending "smug" to it?

Sure, but I was trying to be relatively civil..

Honestly, when I was in 5th and 6th grades in Austin, I had so many negative experiences with so many of that type of teacher, you will never change my mind about liberals or feminists.

So it isn't because you would actually be right about liberals or feminists then. Good to know.

Just like a concentration camp survivor would not actually be right about the Nazis? Yeah, great logic as usual there, Umf.

As "liberal", as a noun, means someone who supports freedom in all its forms, it logically means that the opposite is someone who supports totalitarianism or other forms of restriction of liberties. As we enjoy a good liberty of expression (within Sasq's limits) on this forum, KvH is in a contradictory paradox: he is vociferously anti-liberal but uses the liberalism of this forum to say so. I really don't know how he can sleep at night!

American "liberals" are not strictly liberals by the dictionary definition you grew up with, Brian..

[Brian Ellis]

So American liberals don't support freedom? No freedom of expression? No freedom to choose one's faith? No freedom to elect one's government or be elected? No freedom to support or oppose any controversial issue? Wow!

Then maybe the conservatives are more liberal???

[az]

You know, Brian, not to support your trolling, but I've always wondered why liberals weren't really liked in large parts of the population of America, of all places, what with the freedom of speech, liberation of the whole world etc.

Doc, I'm not talking about typos, everyone makes these (and of course my english is far from perfect, not having had english until 7th grade and all). I am talking about popular mistakes (I was wondering since yesterday if I could use the word "error" here. We only have one word for both, which is "Fehler". Obviously failure it can't be; that is used when something fails to work or to happen, right? So, you can make a mistake, and after that, is is a mistke as well as an error? I don't think I quite grasp the difference between these words.). I think I could point one out in at least every second thread you started.
