World Net Daily ^ | Nov. 14, 2016 | Leo Hohmann

President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to jumpstart a bill in Congress that would ban the Muslim Brotherhood by declaring it a terrorist organization.

Trump foreign-policy adviser Walid Pheres told Egyptian news outlet Youm7 that the legislation, introduced a year ago by U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was held up due to the Obama administration’s support of the group. But Trump plans to back the bill.

But, bigly would be perfect English grammar, as an adverb modifying the verb “want.”

Right. Or hugely, or badly, or enormously, or greatly. Or big league. Almost anything sounds better to me than bigly. :-)

He is saying “bigly”. LOL. You are the only person in the world who claims otherwise. Bigly is said loud and clear. He is not mumbling big league. LOL.

I don’t know about you, but when I’m writing I want it to be proper English but I also want it to sound natural.

I had a cousin who used the contraction “amn’t” for “am not”, which is just as correct as the contraction “aren’t” is for “are not”. The only problem is that it’s awful sounding. People don’t say “I amn’t”, they say “I’m not”. But he proved it was just as “correct” his way. So what! It sounds goofy.

Another example of correct English that sounds awful is “an history book”. And then “there is a lot of cups in the cupboard”. It’s singular because there’s only one lot, but it sounds better to say there are a lot of cups. Rather then have to choose, I’ll say “there are many cups” and avoid the problem.

Language is quirky, and there is often more than one right answer, but this “bigly” thing is just silly - because Trump is saying big league - I can hear it as clear as a bell. One of these days he’ll settle the matter, since I’m sure he is embarrassed that people would think he’s saying bigly.

Now you’re just embarrassing yourself.

Look at the official transcripts of his speeches, according to the Trump campaign and the najor news networks. They correctly transcribe “big league” 90% of the time.

Oh well. You better tell everyone else, because everyone thinks he is saying “bigly”. Perception is reality.

Which means that Obama has had a terrorist organization in the whitehouse how many times?

There. Kelly Anne Conway was just on Lou Dobbs tonight and settled the matter once and for all: “Big league” is what he is saying.

She looked right at the camera and put exaggerated emphasis on the “g” sound at the end of league, so there could be no confusion. It couldn’t have been clearer.
