Just like Obama to confuse the midwest with the mideast...
‘”In her eminent practicality and Midwestern attitudes, she reminds me not a little of Toot [his grandmother].”’
Good googly moodly—not even Ayers knows his English.
It’s ‘immanent’, doofus, not ‘eminent’.

I read that and thought that you were wrong about Ayers being wrong. But then I looked up ‘immanent’ and learned a new word. I have a large vocabulary, but I had never heard that word before. Thank you!
I think ‘eminent’ is OK (i.e. conspicuous; standing out).
Maybe it’s “imminent.”
As in, someday real soon now, she’ll be practical.

Much as I loathe defending Ayers, “immanent” means “about to happen”; “eminent” means outstanding or noteworthy.
None of which diminishes Ayers’ eminent doofusness.
BTW, I always thought it was “Great Googly Moogly”.

I think he does mean “eminent” .
1. Of high rank, station, or quality; noteworthy: eminent members of the community.
2. Outstanding, as in character or performance; distinguished: an eminent historian.
3. Towering or standing out above others; prominent: an eminent peak.
“Iminent” means that something is happening momentarily.
Over the years we have heard and learned from hearing them that both Barack and Michelle speak poorly when not scripted. They make many grammatical mistakes and sound like street urchins who "don't got no" education. Obviously, they don't write any "gooder." either. LOL
No, it's eminent -- as in "she was eminently practical".
No, I think he really did mean “eminent.” Immanent, imminent, and eminent are all English words, but eminent does seem to fit in this quote just fine.
No, I really think it's "eminent."
Immanent means immediately impending.
“It’s ‘immanent’, doofus, not ‘eminent’.”
No, it’s eminent. Immanent practicality makes no sense; that would mean she’s not practical, but is about to become practical....
Thank you. What a thread! Your use of ‘immanent’ proved your semantic eminence. Redactions imminent!
