Well, sure, that’s English for ya and a major reason prescriptivism and formalism never took hold. Though not for lack of trying (shakes fist angrily at the “sentences can’t end in prepositions” idjits)
Yes, that is the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put!
Obligatory Video:
They all look so young.
So Trump’s 3am word salad posts are a shining example of English writing?
O-o-okay.
You’re not actually quoting me: this is my rewriting of Just_Asking_Questions’s humorously ill-spelled sentiment.
But “speakers” is plural for a reason: speech and writing need to be comprehensible. It’s not “anything goes,” but “there’s a decent variety of things allowed in the spoken language, most of which can be rendered in writing.”
Trump’s use of English is not that of a fluent speaker, but of a formerly fluent speaker with cognitive impairment.
And a lack of education.
I’m not even sure how fluent he was in his youth. He probably was thinking, “Your fired!”
Obligate image.
It’s really clever how Michelle managed to make the daughters look just like herself! It’s not like they could have used Michelle’s sperm and someone else’s egg, because the daughter also look like Barack. Must have been some sort of gene-splicing that no one else knows about because They don’t want us to know.
I’m also impressed with the way Barack avoided the Vietnam War draft by delaying his own birth.
Kash “DOLLA DOLLA BILL YALL” Patel claims he foiled a plot to fly exploding drones into the UFC fight and besiege the White House.
That reminds me of this line:
“Well,----me,” he said. “A----ing wizard. I hate----ing wizards!” “You shouldn’t----them, then,” muttered one of his henchmen, effortlessly pronouncing a row of dashes.”
― Terry Pratchett, Mort
Yep. And apparently the Secret Service is pissed about this because Patel jumped the gun on what is an ongoing investigation. Patel is more interested in chasing clicks than he is criminal suspects.
The problem with Patel’s social media announcement, the sources say, was that the case had been sealed in court and roughly 10 suspects had not yet been arrested and placed in custody at the time Patel shared his post. The people said Secret Service and FBI officials were surprised by Patel “jumping the gun.”
I, for one, am not at all surprised that Patel did this.
Well, duh. It’s obvious that the girls are trans, too.
What about how as President he failed to prevent 9/11?
Right. I guess he couldn’t think of everything.
…but as soon as he could, he made amends as best he could by sending the very best to make sure ObL got a proper send-off.
What did you bring that book that I didn’t want to be read to out of about Down Under up for?
The Parks Service is now dumping jugs of peroxide into the Reflecting Pool to stop the algae bloom Trump’s repainting caused.
Please, sir, I’m asking you with tears in my eyes to do this. No other president besides “Trump” could ever read a legal document word for word on live TV. The ratings would be bigger than Obama.
I prefer to always split my infinitives, boldly.
