You have to be careful when using words like “all” and “every”. That sets a pretty high standard and I suspect you haven’t done the research to back up your assertion.

Generally, the word “abdicate” implies a formal and permanent relinquishment of one’s position or responsibilities, and you used it within the context of a discussion of Sarah Palin’s resignation. It’s not unreasonable to assume you used “abdicate” as a synonym for “quit”.

All I’m saying is that “abdicate” probably wasn’t the best choice of words in this case.

Thank you for clarifying your statement. The insult wasn’t necessary, however.

More obfuscatory blather from someone caught speaking before thinking. Here's a clue, Blabatron:

Nowere in my article did I use the term "abdicate." Each and every "all" and "every" that I did use, I used with full knowledge and specific intent. They are intentional, and precise, not to mention correct.

You can find far more fruitful ways to waste your time than to try to pick apart my writings, especially given your own now repeatedly demonstrated inablity to comprehend what you've read.

And just for your pointless edification, it wasn't an "insult." It was a justified reprimand, which apparently you don't deal with very well.
