1. I don't think "alacrity" is the right word (it means "cheerful readiness")

[LanternWaste]

8. That could almost be relevant.

But it ain't...

[oberliner]

9. The OP switched out "alacrity" and replaced it with the word "scorn"

So I guess the suggestion was appreciated (or at least heeded).

I've used words incorrectly on here from time to time, and I am always grateful when those errors are pointed out so I don't make the same mistakes in the future.

4. The federal contribution limit is $2,500

[Jim Lane]

10. No, it's $2,700

Assuming you mean the limit on contributions by one individual to one candidate for one federal election, with a primary, a runoff, and a general election each being considered a separate election for the same office.

According to the "Contribution limits" page on the FEC website, the maximum is indexed for inflation in odd-numbered years. Therefore, it changes for each cycle.

5. Dammit. There's an internet-term for men who think that women owe them attention. Forgot it.

There's a special term to refer to men who think that merely writing to a woman on the internet entitles them to that woman writing back and engaging with them in a conversation.

6. What political office is Ben Shapiro running for?

From my vantage point he appears to be just another loud mouth on the Internet.

7. Recommended.

Thank you for this!
