> [@ElvisL1ves](#): > > Always trust the dog. They’re instant and completely accurate judges of character. Although past experience may bias their judgment. To wit: The dogs of a Facebook friend’s now-SO reacted to him at first meeting with fear and suspicion. He said something kind and innocuous, like “Hello, good doggie,” and the most high-strung of them (who adores him now) collapsed into crying with relief and gratitude. Seems the ex-husband of the woman had been a cold-hearted asshole who made the wife and her dogs’ lives miserable, and the dogs had never had a kind word from a man, so they viewed him with extreme suspicion until he proved his bona fides.\* \*I actually typed “bona fidos” and thought about leaving it. ---

hmm, _Turkey has taken advantage of the United States for many years. They are now holding our wonderful Christian Pastor, who I must now ask to represent our Country as a great patriot hostage. We will pay nothing for the release of an innocent man, but we are cutting back on Turkey!_ this one is oddly almost parsable. ---

Someone should explain to whomever wrote that tweet (which indeed, is parsable enough it probably wasn’t Cheeto) that royal plurals carry caps. It should be “Our wonderful Christian Pastor”. Is he confused about Turkey the country and turkey the sandwich meat? How do you cut back on a country? ---

Their analysis found that, because of the vehicle’s distributed weight and track pads, the streets of the nation’s capital would not be compromised. (my bolding) ---
