Because if you’re only “....offering solid advise....”, then make sure YOU spell the word correctly.


You caught me. I’ve spelled “of” as “uv” before as I sometimes put my words in phonically. I also used to come down hard on people for typing “to” when they meant, “too”, until I caught myself doing it and realized they just made a mistake.

See the difference? And yes, I caught it after I posted, but there is no editing on this site once posted, so yes, I am occasionally a victim of the “spelling Nazis”.

But belittling through the silly names like “Obumbo”, or “democraps”, etc. Is both intentional and juvenile.

And yes, I mean “peril”. It is not over the top. As you pointed out, it means “serious and immediate danger”, which is the truth. I thought the OP was good but when I saw the words used to describe democrats and republicans, I thought, “What is this guy, 12?”

Of course, it depends on the audience. Like I said, it will go right by much of the choir. But not all.

Any political pundit that wants to be taken seriously outside his circle of friends will refrain from using the cutely degrading euphemisms of people’s and groups’ names.

How often to you hear pundits on the radio or Television, or respected sites like Conservativetreehouse, townhall, American Thinker, et al, use these silly euphemisms? Never. Once they do, they’ve reverted to amateur hour.

I really hate when I see it on FR.

There is not one thing wrong with trying to raise the bar on this site. It is a good thing to do.

BTW, those that think they know it all really annoy those of us who do. :-)

Your rambling excuses for your spelling mistakes and your self-righteous, inflated opinion of yourself in presuming to tell other people how to talk and write because it offends you, is vaguely familiar to me.

Aw, yes. I know what it is now. You sound just like a liberal who claims to be "triggered" or "micro-aggressed" and demands everyone else fall in line behind their opinions.

Apparently, there would be no freedom of speech on FreeRepublic, if you had anything to say about it.
