I didn't think it was possible to go too far with a Kentucky Derby hat

And they use the same mouth to say the reason they're detaining foreign students is because antisemitism? This is how you know they're lying.

Which is why we should possibly all follow Ground News, so we see what other people, across the spectrum, are really seeing. ground.news

I didn't think we'd enable him to get this authoritarian this fast.

My point is that there is some suspicion that he did orchestrate the whole thing to make money. He may be an idiot, but not everybody else around him is. And he has demonstrated an ability to take direction when he thinks he's gonna make money off of it. Grifters gonna grift...

I hear that. I almost died just during a winter vacation to the East Coast. This shit is no joke.

Believe me. I have stated this to my representative and senators in no uncertain terms. The idea of what this administration is doing to destroy healthcare is terrifying to me. You share it too. Tell everybody the story of those of us who know that environmental regulations have saved our lives.

No, I actually know my life was saved by controlling air pollution. As an asthmatic, I know that if air pollution hadn't been controlled in my childhood, I would have died decades ago. Fact.

Please go back and look at what happened when Europe appeased hitler and then admit you're not up to the task or prepared for this moment. I hope you're voted out. If there is a vote after this debacle. I'm disgusted. 2/2

So, when your constituents, including working families, were begging you not to give in to a tyrant, you decided not to listen and to appease the narcissist? 1/2

Gender is a social construct, so I'm about 99.9% sure. However, there are intersex mice.

It hasn't gone that way with theory yet, but we'll see. 😉

It is, and it would still be correct--especially in the first example. But grammar pedants often try to correct it to add the -ly because of a misperception that the -ly is required.

Yes, it is changing, but is still less accepted in technical or scientific fields (where I'm a writer and editor) rather than in lay usage (as with the word theory). I believe most science journals still prefer differentiating data and datum for clarity. Again, grammar develops based on usage.

Technically, there is zero data is grammatically incorrect, because data is always plural (datum is singular). Unless you're talking about this...

What's fun about the -ly thing is that it's a relatively new invention. Until, oh, a little before the 20th century, it was acceptable to say, "Get home safe" or "Drive safe." Grammar, like dictionary definitions, is a function of accepted usage--not a thread in the elemental fabric of the universe.

Here's a little more to break your brain: three-dog night (not three-dogs night).

It's both a noun (number) and an adjective. Numbers used as item descriptors function as adjectives, not nouns, and therefore take on the aspect of what they describe.
