No need to get defensive. You said "a majority vote of 75% in support", which sounds like a majority of three-fourths of the people. Now I know you simply meant three-fourths support.
I apologize if I came across as defensive. I’m irritated lately by those who are nit-picky about language without having any real interest in the change beyond providing some proof of their input. Not to imply at all that this is what you intended. It’s just that I’ve seen it happen at my place of work far too often, to the point that I might be overly sensitive to editing as a result.
Anyway, yes, I did mean a majority of three-fourths of the people—of the propertied citizens, that is, which is why I didn’t use ‘of the propertied citizens voting.’ I’d happily accept improvement of the language...not that even an ironclad amendment to that effect would make a difference if it were passed now, with the SCOTUS we’ve got around, they’d just imagine it meant something different or didn’t apply.
