1. I wonder how this will be "Biden's fault?"

[Deuxcents]

4. O..he'll find a way to blame him and make life miserable for the rest of us..

[SheltieLover]

5. Or maybe his nonexistant crowd was because Obama wore a tan suit?

7. Doesn't take much to trigger him

[SheltieLover]

16. No it sure doesn't.

Freak. Lol

9. We'll have the answer..

As soon as we can access her emails on Hunter Biden's laptop.

[SheltieLover]

17. Yup. Those are the other 2 go-tos for sure.

[H2O Man]

But there were huge numbers at the rallies in cities across the country.

6. I can't helo but wonder about the morale of the troops in the parade

8. Fewer people, not less.

Think of it this way: you have fewer glasses of milk, but less milk overall.

Less money, fewer dollar bills. Fewer paint brushes, less artwork.

Fewer involves specific numbers. Less involves a smaller overall quantity. The problem is that people are very careless and don't distinguish between those two very important concepts. Also, "more" is the correct way to indicate larger, both in specific numbers and in overall quantity.

I am very much looking forward to being the Grammar Queen, so I can make sure everyone is always grammatically correct.

11. I hope you enjoyed

posting all that.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

12. Yes, I did.

I honestly think that precision is speaking or writing, in word usage, in using the precise, specific words that describe or explain, that those things really matter.

I can also hope (no doubt as futile a hope as has ever been hoped) that at least one person will read my post and start using those words correctly.

So yeah, words matter. What they mean and how they are used matter.

18. Thank you.

20. Can I be your deputy, or perhaps Princess Royal?

To my surprise, a couple of the grocery stores in our area actually have checkout lanes for "10 items or fewer." A pleasant shock.

Sloppy language use drives me bonkers. I think I must have been an English teacher or editor in a previous life.

[Skittles]

19. excellence

[Tree Lady]
