Perhaps now the shrivelling band of fossil-fuel-funded contrarians and car-enthusiast media stars will finally have the good grace to shut up with the ignorance they pedal[sic] about the threat we face.

Surely if they're pedalling, they're not using that fossil fuel you're so tweaked about. Or did you, Doc, mean "peddle"? Even in these mercilessly PC days, it's still right and proper to distinguish among homophones.

You are just a homophoneophobe who is in denial!

Sorry, I just didn’t think I’d ever get to use the term homophoneophobe again in this life time. Think I’ll make it to the Oxford English Dictionary? LOL!

Thanks.
