Kidnapped kids from Kenya?
And hypocrites.
Guess who’s weaponizing the justice department!
Let’s discuss the insult against Michelle Obama. First, Hokit likes to call Black women men.
Next, Dana White does nothing about the insult against Ms. Obama.
And why would he? (Same link.)
I heard on the radio (BBC, I think) that there will be a signing ceremony, but the memorandum has already been electronically signed.
Electronically signed; is that anything like an autopen?
Bryce is also a Biblical literalist, YEC, flat Earther that almost certainly thinks that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a on a donkey, a colt, and a T. rex and chased the money lenders out of the Temple with an AR.
Sadly, at this time it cannot be determined if this is because of sports-related traumatic brain injury or because Bryce just never was quite right in the head.
Is the Dana White quoted by Monty using the genitive as plural? Why does he do that?
I’d love to say he is just particularly stupid, but it’s a common grammatical error. And not an especially egregious error compared to more common ones
So it is not a new way to insult people one has to be aware of or that I could commit in error? That is nice to know.
Not as far as I know. It’s an extremely common error in usage.
Who knows? In a few decades, it may even become acceptable usage, much like ‘less’ almost entirely replacing ‘fewer’ in recent years.
We don’t have an Academy for English usage (and both the UK and US have historically been rather against strict prescriptivism).
Well, yeah. We’re not French.
I’m not telling this story to dispute your point, necessarily-- this example may be an outlier. At least, I hope it is. But I’m sharing it as a symptom of how weirdly widespread and persistent these BS right-wing rumors are, even among demographics you wouldn’t normally expect.
My wife and I were in downtown Detroit a few months ago, waiting on the QLine (a streeetcar that runs up and down Woodward Ave.). We struck up a conversation with a Black woman in her 60s who was a retired nurse. She was really nice and we were enjoying talking to her at first.
Then she told us she was a strong trump supporter (I think she assumed we were, too, at first). We were kind of taken by surprise, and sort of gently tried to sound her out, without being confrontational, as to why she liked him. She said her whole family thinks she’s crazy for supporting trump, but she thinks trump was good for Black people for reasons I don’t quite remember specifically, except that they were the same false talking points echoed by other trump supporters.
Then she dropped the bomb that she not only didn’t think Obama was a good President, but that Michelle was a trans man. We were like “whaahh, really?” What followed was a litany of wing-nut CT stuff like “think about it-- there are no records to show that she was in a hospital actually delivering her kids”. So public figures are all supposed to publicly post hospital records proving they actually birthed the children they claim they did, apparently?
You know the right - they’re obsessed with other people’s genitives.
Heh, awesome.
I can’t imagine a national dictation competition where people willingly participate in any anglophone country*. And not because anti-prescriptivism and not being French, but because the rules are despised. Furthermore, dictations are taken by hand and you would complain about cursive.
Now I get it, thank you.
* TBH, they don’t do that in Spain or Germany either, but they/we still can write with a ballpen on paper without complaining. 
Unfortunately, there’s any number of ways to hide your racism. A group of scout leaders I know use “Canadian” as their racist euphemism. “That part of town has too many Canadians.” Yeah, you guys aren’t fooling anyone. If you have to hide your speech, then maybe you shouldn’t be saying it.
Never heard of spelling bees?
I thought it was a section of the NYT, like the crossword. Should I web-search it?
It’s one of our last redeeming qualities.
Huh huh huh. Let’s go Brandon, amirite? 
Literally.
