So I’ve begun the process of removing Roger_That . 6 Warnings in 16 months and a 1 week suspension is quite the achievement. Warnings from 4 different mods.
Trolling post here:
I don’t want to get into what constitutes “properly” just now (there are those who believe that every pronunciation and usage that a native speaker employs is by definition a correct one) but there are newscasters whose acquaintance with the rudiments of the English language is at best middling. I just heard a young woman employed by MSNBC repeatedly pronouncing “nuclear” NOOK-ya-lar–I hear such manglings every day, semi-literate talking heads struggling to pronounce words that they have obvious…
Jr. Modding here:
I’m looking, as clearly stated, to ask why people think that newscasters who are only moderately skilled at pronouncing and using English are hired and renewed by the networks.
I specifically asked if we could discuss this outside of the discussion of what is and isn’t “proper” pronunciation and usage, as that is a whole separate and unpleasant conversation. If you can’t grant my premise that such a thing exists, you are hijacking this thread.
Warning here:
Warning: And this is called Junior Modding and not allowed.
You do not control your thread. Especially one that is poorly constructed to start with. If you have a problem with what posters posted, flag the post.
But as this thread is a good example of a trollish thread and you have a very poor history. I’m suspended you for 2 days* for trolling and will be discussing your posting privileges in the Modloop.
This will be warning number 6 in the last 16 months. Along with a suspension already.
