Our ADA battery had striking similarities to Easy Company: our CO couldn’t read a map to save his life, my friend was unflappable and always made the right decision, like Dick Winters, and I was a damn good Platoon Leader, thanks to the training from my 3 platoon sergeants, all had at least one tour in Nam.
We hadn’t seen each other for 40+ years, oh how the memories flooded back.
Don’t say “Gun Safety”, say “Gun Control.” (A clever ploy by the left - who could be opposed to “Safety?”)
The convention in proper English for generations is when the sex of the person is unknown, one uses the male pronoun. This is not sexist or discriminatory, it is simply a convention for communicating that only a single individual is being referred to. If one knows the person is female, then use the female pronouns.
Under no circumstances does it make sense to call a single individual “they.”
Say Unconstitutional Gun Control.
Don’t anybody forget that it’s “global warming” not “climate change”! My blood pressure skyrockets everytime I hear those terms!
Don’t use “Fossil fuels” say hydrocarbons.
Feel free to 'berate' Hiram Maxim. He invented the things, and he called his invention a 'silencer'.
I'll take his word over yours as to what they should be called.
instead of “alphabet mob” i use freakshow.
i find it more descriptive of the people in question.
Long has been one of my pet peeves. I remember first hearing of “person of color” on a Rush Limbaugh broadcast. “It’s person of color, not colored person. Remember that, please.”
This is a recent headline in Michigan:
Michigan’s state House of Representatives has passed a bill that could make it a felony to use someone’s preferred pronouns in a way that “intimidates” them.
“The state of Michigan is now explicitly allowing the gender delusion issue to be used as a ‘protected class.’ This opens up numerous issues when it comes to the courts and the continued weaponization of the system against conservatives,” State Rep. Angela Rigas said of the bill.
“The Maxim Silencer” does roll off the tongue better than “The Maxim Suppressor”.
Our Democracy?
NO!
We are the Republicans.
Our Republic!
Or use the words as synonyms when referring to people. The pretense that mental illness can change a person's gender is a recent ideological manipulation of the English language.
Be sure to use
non-white
instead of
‘people of color’.
Eighty percent of Chicago's students can't read at their grade level. I doubt if they know what a pronoun is much less the dozens of made up pronouns the non-normals have dreamed up. It will be interesting to see how the law will be enforced.
Fine. Hit a nerve, I see.
Thanks for announcing it in-forum.
smh
If they don't want *He* or *she*, you could always suggest *it* and watch the meltdown.
“Don’t use leftist words and definitions”
Did they mean leftard jibber jabber..otherwise, know as lies?
Don’t say “gay” unless you mean “happy and carefree”.
Don’t say “Educator” when you mean “Teacher”.
Don’t say “Progressive” when you mean “Communist”.
Don’t say “amoral” when you mean “Evil”.
“Gender affirming care” instead of genital mutilation.
“Reproductive rights” instead of murdering unborn children.
Don’t say “transition”, say “mutilation”.
