As Trump's endorsement is a "the kiss of death" more like, you might expect a great win in Nevada
His last tweet :

Fucking moron.

Talking about mistakes, in the title, is the comma after "ears" correct ?
Yesterday, I posted one of his tweets. I asked a few questions about his sentence and got some answers.
Can you add some remarks ? Thank you.

(21,849 posts)First, the correct spelling is "comma," not "coma." The latter is something I'd like to go into and avoid the rest of the Trump reign.
The apostrophe after ears is incorrect. The usual expression is something like "From your lips to God's ears." The ears are plural, not possessive. You use the possessive case (requiring the apostrophe) with the person whose ears you are talking about. That is why it is "God's." I hope that is clear.
That link discusses another tweet with lots of confused grammar and thinking. Yikes!

I corrected "comma", I'll change the title.
"From his mouth to...voters ears"
Is this correct ?
