Cool statement. I may need to quote it back to you in future posts. : )

I knew this idiot would focus on New Mexico and completely ignore all the other states on the list. That's the GOP strategy. Focus on the outliers like they're the rule and not the exceptions.

Idiot.

Dude, relax, you were just wrong. It's not a horrible thing and it'll be ok.

I'm not sure how you managed to pass college English given these sentence examples.

Perhaps Sub should have attended one of these schools.

Why is a country like Finland ahead of them all and without the stress that students experience in Singapore.

Well, you’re talking about the people who got bent out of shape and stormed out of the room while shouting, “Don’t tell us what to do!!” a few years back when Michelle Obama dared to suggest that kids should get healthy school lunches.

I'm not sure how you managed to pass college English given these sentence examples.


How you're graded in an English class is based on whether or not the professor shares your liberal or conservative views. There's a movement to take grammar out of English. They won't even check your paper for grammatical errors in the BYU reading writing center for that reason. They dress it up in terms like writing style or whether you support your conclusions. Obviously if the professor doesn't share your world view, they're not going to believe you supported your conclusions.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

So what you're confessing here is that you sucked in college English and blame it on a difference of opinion. Fancy stuff like logically supporting your position is superfluous to the gut feelings on which you were raised.

Yeah... we pretty much already knew this about you.

If you think I was referring primarily to your grammar, it explains a lot about your grasp of what language and communication are.

ETA: Just thinking about this made me pity you for a few minutes. I had to slap myself back to reality.

Sounds like a BYU problem. In our classes we were encouraged to make a good argument and to challenge prevailing points of view.

Did you get points taken away for failing to use Olde English?
