The leftmedia is doing their usual. Subtle shifts in word usage like this, convey and covertly promote their twisted agenda to an unsuspecting public.
This also used to be a term used in redneckdom for a lady of uncertain circumstances. They may not have written it down, or if they did they spelled it Miz.
That’s what I think of this one too.
She broke the law by not archiving her emails to non-government peoples that related to her job. Emails to Blumenthal on Libya are public examples.
The government system does that automatically (or almost).
“This also used to be a term used in redneckdom for a lady of uncertain circumstances. They may not have written it down, or if they did they spelled it Miz.”
My parents and grandparents were from the deep South. They customarily pronounced the word Missus as Miz, just because that’s how they spoke. This was long before the invention of the term, Ms.
That said, I’ll defer to your superior redneck pedigree, as to your explanation :-)
Well I am talking about Appalachia or near-Appalachia kin, that kind of red neck. It’s equally possible that in other communities, such as the deep South, Mrs. got elided into Miz while keeping the honorary of Miss. But the existence of a variant from the received speech, probably made it easier for the forgers of modern speech to press it into use.
By the way, when was the last time you heard of a minor boy being called Master? Now that is an honorific rarity today.
That marking is after-the-fact.
[[Nitpick:
Ms. Clinton
The suffix, Ms, is for unmarried women.
Carry on. ]]
Actually Miss is for unmarried , Mrs. for married , Ms. can be used for either or when you are not sure if the woman is married or not.
Thanks, I understand now.
The FOX report linked above has the classified portion marking and explains the matter well.
Anyone who doesn’t think there is something seriously wrong with what she did should ask anyone in the military what would happen to them if they sent classified stuff to a private email.
Oh and the people that sent her that classified stuff they had to know they were sending it to a private email too so they are just as guilty in this .
This is ridiculous. We know that some of the investigators had to have their security clearances raised just to read the emails. So highly secret information was contained in the emails, whether marked or not. And when released, some statements within the emails are replaced by a white block and a note stating the classification level. The country is over in January. It is done. She should have been arrested by now.
She broke the law by not archiving her emails to non-government peoples that related to her job. Emails to Blumenthal on Libya are public examples.
The government system does that automatically (or almost).
********************************************************
It’s not just non-government people that are the problem. It’s the fact that she did not use an official state department account, even when she sent emails to government people. Here’s why (I marked key paragraph with asterisks):
[From link:]
In a deposition given to the watchdog group Judicial Watch on Wednesday, Karin Lang, the State Department’s director of Executive Secretariat staff, said that it would not have been “reasonably possible” to obtain Hillary Clinton’s emails through the Freedom of Information Act before she turned the records over in Dec. 2014 — nearly two years after she left office.
That conflicts with Clinton’s longstanding claim that her email practices were above board — and not an attempt to skirt FOIA requirements — because the “vast majority” of her emails were available to the State Department through other officials’ government email accounts.
“More than 90% of those emails should have already been captured in the State Department’s email system before she provided them with paper copies,” reads an email “fact sheet” on Clinton’s campaign website.
“The State Department was able to search and produce Clinton’s emails when needed long before, and unrelated to, receiving the printed copies as they were already captured on state.gov accounts,” the “fact sheet” also states.
**But Lang told Judicial Watch that the State Department collects records from the custodian of the records, or the person that sends or receives them. That means that there was little chance — given that Clinton used a personal email account — that FOIAs seeking her emails would have been detected by Lang’s bureau.**
Several FOIA requests for Clinton’s emails were filed during her tenure as secretary of state. But all were rejected because the responsive records could not be located.
Lang’s statements boiled down to a claim of “we didn’t know what we didn’t know.”
“The practice — the way the State Department stores email records is by custodian, by the employee who sent or received those emails,” she told Judicial Watch attorney Michael Bekesha.
“So in order to search, for example, for Secretary Clinton’s emails, if they were stored in other custodians’ electronic archives, it would not be possible to do that except by searching individual custodian by individual custodian, which would not be reasonably possible.”
Asked why that would not be reasonably possible, Lang said that the State Department has 70,000 employees.
“Ms. can be used for either or when you are not sure if the woman is married or not.”
So the writer of the article isn’t sure about Hillary Clinton’s marital status?
“By the way, when was the last time you heard of a minor boy being called Master? Now that is an honorific rarity today.”
Dang, I’m getting old. I remember that usage from my youth. Haven’t heard or seen it in decades.
“Well I am talking about Appalachia or near-Appalachia kin, that kind of red neck.”
Ah... My kin were from Northern Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana for the most part.
Gotta ask the wife about the Appalachians. Her side is from the deep southwest corner of Virginia. Even though she spent most of her formative years in Florida, she’s still got a bit of the backwoods holler in her.
[[So the writer of the article isn’t sure about Hillary Clinton’s marital status?]]
Ms can be used for either but no doubt that they are using Ms instead of Mrs for pc reasons as in she isn’t just Bill Clinton’s wife.
“Ms can be used for either...”
Well sure, now that the left has corrupted the language to such a degree that words can mean anything you ‘feel’ they should mean.
Tell you what. If I catch anyone calling my wife ‘Ms’, they’re going to get an earful from me. Guaranteed.
Will be interesting to see what they start calling Bill Clinton ..... Mr Hillary Clinton ? lol
“Mr Hillary Clinton ?”
LOL (for real!)
