“Not quite.”

Yes, quite.

“You didn’t reference those folks in your statement.”

I didn’t have to.

“Two people who are Protestants do NOT make “some” — they make “two.””

(sigh) Once again we see how poorly served so many have been by the education system of this country.

Check a Merriam Webster dictionary:

“some” - “2a : being one, a part, or an unspecified number of something (as a class or group) named or implied

b : being of an unspecified amount or number

4: being at least one —used to indicate that a logical proposition is asserted only of a subclass or certain members of the class denoted by the term which it modifies.”

I said “some” Protestants. Two shows there are “some”. These are just two who published an article or book. They are not alone in the Protestant world. They just happen to be authors of an article or book.

You were wrong. I was right all along. That won’t change.

And, yet, there were TWO. Seems to be a specified number to me.

Seems like I may not be the one suffering from a poor education. Or maybe it's just a lack of accuracy.

Regardless, it's clearer now that two felt that way, not an unspecified number larger than two.

Keep telling yourself that as long as it makes you feel better. Fine by me.
