I prefer the Republicanistic-Democrats. It’s like The Fantasticks with out the show tunes.
Correct - it’s trivial.
Some people even write apps to do it.

Does this mean the word-police will stop telling other people what they can and cannot post?
Perhaps if you supplied a list of all the words and terms you find acceptable, people could chose to politely ignore your repeated requests all at once? Or not.
And a reasonable request, right? Even if it’s trivial?
Indeed.
It’s just a request – no police, and no “telling”, just asking. Just like how I ask people to call me Andy and not Andrew.
Not a big deal at all. Please call me Andy, and please call the Democratic Party by the name they call themselves.
No big deal. Tiny little trivial request.
There’s very few times I can say I agree with you 100%, but I agree with you 100%.
:p:D
I am willing to hazard a guess I have been a Democrat longer than you have been alive, and have met and shook hands with many party leaders, was even a candidate. It doesnt bother me in the slightest, and I even use it once in a while.
It’s no big deal. It barely bothers me in the slightest, so I just make the reasonable request to call the party what most members call it. No big deal at all – tiny little reasonable request.
Actually four or five tiny little requests, so far. That’s how much it doesn’t bother you.

I’m terribly sorry! I withdraw all but one, and await your response (and the response of anyone else who’d like to).
I’m thinking you don’t quite understand an important part of what “request” means.
It starts with an N, not a Y.
It’s very possible, because I have no idea what you mean here.
Explaining the nature of a request is not the same thing as reiterating the request.
But you probably know that.
You can politely request something. And I can polity say NO. And if you get butthurt I said no, then it really wasn’t a polite request. You are just pretending it was.
He explained that it was trivial every time he made the request, and I posted that I understood and agreed that it was trivial. Then he made the request again. And again. And again, each time repeating that it was no big deal, and didn’t really bother him.
IOW it was trivial and unimportant enough to repeat, several times over.
This is one of those things that keeps bringing me back to the SDMB - unintentional parody is an art form hereabouts.

You might want to question your reasonable certainty.
No, he didn’t.
But I agree that it’s easier to be amused when you read words that aren’t there.
It’s such not a big deal that it spawned that 7 page thread John Mace linked to and you said people who use it deserved to be mocked in post 8.
And apparently the flip side is true - people get cranky when they don’t read words that are there.

That’s enough. Closed.
