It’s nice to hear from someone who notices the button differences between women’s and men’s jackets (or for that matter, even knows that there is a difference)!
Yeah, I just noticed when rereading my comment that I wrote “fax” instead of “faux”. I definitely know better and to be honest am a bit embarrassed to have made that mistake. I was even thinking the correct spelling when I wrote it, and I can’t even blame spell check. My bad! By the way, people using “mother-in-laws” instead of the correct “mothers-in-law” has always annoyed me too.
The improper use of the royal titles, such as saying “Princess Diana” or “Princess Kate” really bugs me! As baskate writes, the proper titles are “Diana, Princess or Wales” and “Catherine, Princess of Wales”. I suppose this isn’t a big fax pas in the US, but I’m sure it is taken more seriously in the UK.
I think it was Kellyann Conway at the RNC, in response to comments about liking the policies but not his personality, said “You don’t get the policies without the personality!” This almost sounded like an apology to me.
I’ve tried to avoid posting blatant political comments on GoComics (though some touch on it), but I have to get this one out. Okay, there is a very real portion of the electorate that will vote Republican no matter what (I’ve heard “I just can’t vote for a Democrat”), and many who have honest conservative viewpoints (as opposed to the hate groups such as racists, misogynists, xenophobes, homophobes, etc.) and many who would not fit into the classification of Hillary Clinton’s “deplorables” that still vote that way. The ones that get me and I shake my head at are the probable Trump voters who say, essentially, “Well, we know he is a horrible person and is a serious threat to our democracy and system of Government, but he will be ‘good for business’ and ‘inflation is too high and I’m paying too much for gasoline, and I want prices to go back to what they were before’.” My response: you’ll be sorry!
And all those “good Christians” and others with “high moral standards” will be happy to give him a pass. Can you imagine ANYBODY else being tolerated for this by such “good, upstanding people”?
