Well, in fact, that is exactly how word analysis is done in any communications department I'm aware of.

Of course context is important. Which is why I qualified things the way I did, unless a "shallow thinking idiot" didn't read the qualifiers.

But the moment you contextualize anything you bring in value judgments that people can challenge, such as "Why did you exclude the time Trump talked about Oreos?" So if you're going to do any kind of quantitative study, you have to count everything. It does work out . . . for us shallow thinking idiots.

I thought that LS was quite clear about the context.

Why the insulting tone?!

“Well, in fact, that is exactly how word analysis is done in any communications department I’m aware of. “

Then you are uneducated and did nothing but put out a liberals style hit piece. Journalist is about as low as any profession for actual knowledge.

“Why the insulting tone?! “

Because it is an insulting article. Tit for tat. If you don’t like the insulting responses then don’t post insulting threads. Grow up.

Um, communications is journalism? See, I’m more uneducated that you thought. At my university, they are separate departments.

Ok.

And your tagline shows you have great taste in musical artists.

A. I did not post the thread.

B. There is nothing insulting about an analysis of speech patterns. Just whom do you suggest was being insulted?

C. If there was somehow any even implied insult to you, where & what do you refer to?

D. There was nothing posted, either by LS or anyone else, that had anything to do with my maturity. Why not try to respond to criticism in a relevant manner?

I much prefer a speaker who says ‘I’ when referring to himself than one, like Scott Walker, who uses the ‘royal we’.
