A Deer In Headlights

wtfcaniuse says...

The way he used to talk always made be think he was just an account used by a troll farm. The changes in spelling, vocab, grammar and tone seemed like it was different people.

Unless he just cut and pasted other peoples comments from some nutbag "patriot" FB group he's in.

Hail Satan?-Trailer

That just sounds an awful lot like two wrongs making a right.

Claiming an established well defined name for your group/association, and then proceeding to define your group as something completely different is BAD communication. That is an objective fact, not something that varies depending upon your subjective POV. Whether that bad communication also has some morality attached to it sounds more like what your addressing, which is something I was saying nothing about.

Having groups like Westboro Baptists claiming to be either Christian or Baptist is like you said much the same. Morality wise, infinitely worse. Communication wise they might arguably be more accurate, although their words and actions look nothing like the Christ they claim to follow, I do understand that their group at least claims to truly believe in and follow their God. Secular Satanists apparently neither worship nor even believe in the existence of Satan, making the moniker more misleading. Their push for religious neutrality/separation of church and state however place them as far superior morally. Again, these examples are laden with my opinion regarding morality.

Morality aside though, you honestly can't say that claiming a name for your group with a strongly established meaning and definition isn't bad communication when your group shares neither the beliefs(grammar edit) nor practices of that established meaning and definition.

No, it's not. You understand it, so did most people who listened. It's perfectly fine communication and that communication was clear about what they're doing. You may not like the fact they're using the system as they are, but their communication wasn't lacking imo.
If Christianity can abandon every tenet of the bible and stop following it's teachings yet continue to claim to believe in and worship Christ in order to receive the benefits of being a religion, bearing more false witness in the effort, Satanism can do the same without the lies and duplicity.

Um....many anti vaxers say EXACTLY that.

When words are misused by those attempting to control and harm you, misusing them in the same way to stop that is perfectly acceptable to me, especially when you're honest about it like they are (but Christianity isn't). The pretend lava daddy is just as valid as the pretend sky daddy and deserves exactly the same special protections and exemptions....none at all.

Let's Talk About How Trump Can Drain the Swamp

TheFreak says...

Can I just sidetrack and say, "Fuck Melania too."

"Be Best"?

Could no one on her staff fix that grammar?
It would have been better in the original Slovenian,
"Najbolje!"

You're wrong.
@bobknight33 is not a Russian Troll.

Unless that troll has severe mood swings or something.

It seems more like multiple trolls are using the account. I remember a time when he could spell most words in English correctly, for instance. His arguments were much angrier then too. Now he's more laid back about it. He doesn't seem like he's angry, just that he's got a job to do, but at the same time the spelling and some of the grammar went down hill.

newtboy said:

11 years of trying fact, reason, logic, religion, history......all to no avail, and seeing his positions consistently change based on who we are discussing (e.g.. the debt under Obama was 100% Obama's fault, was a disgrace we shouldn't tolerate and should run him out of office for, but under Trump doubling or tripling the deficit, raising spending and cutting taxes, doesn't matter a whit and is somehow Obama's fault).
I'm prepared to take the <1% chance that I'm wrong and say "yes", he is a Russian agent....I'm just not 100% certain he knows it. I am 100% certain he wouldn't admit it if he did.

First and foremost I live by it and raise my kids to do the same. Next is to encourage those in my community to do the same. Finally, if I see public declarations against it like comments seen here and this video, I'll take a second or two to call that out as well and least leave a voice out there calling people to stop judging each other by what team they're on over(grammar edit) what they are like.

So now that you have declared what is valuable to you, what are you going to do about it?

What's Going On?

This story, believe it or not, is the very familiar fable of Little Red Riding Hood. This curious version was written in 1940 by a professor of French named H. L. Chace, who wanted to show his students that intonation - that is, the melody of a language - is an integral part of its meaning. The words here are all common English words, but not the ones you'd expect to tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood.

High-tech drones steal the show at the Winter Olympics

entr0py jokingly says...

"What's incredible is that less than two pilots can operate those thousand plus drones at one time."

By less than two, do you mean one? Because there's a word for that.

That's right, no matter how amazing the new technology is, it can't compare to the simple pleasure of being a grammar Nazi.

Jinx says...

You just know that sign makers offer a grammar/spellcheck as part of their package... and then deliberately ignore errors when people don't pony up.

I wonder if he "corrects" brand names e.g. Starbucks.
