    Yeah, it's amusing that they all came up with "weird" the same day...

     

    "To be a Democrat in good standing, everyone has to sing from the same songsheet. To the left, diversity means everyone says the same thing but looks different. S you get not policy debate, what you get is different avatars." - Delano Squires

    Tip of the hat to Tim Walz. It resonated immediately. 

     

    And you chose the perfect weirdo from the Heritage Foundation to quote.

     

    Project 2025 is deeply weird and unamerican.

    Recoiling?

     

    Well, anyway, if you are stating that you reject semantics, in some cases, then you are certainly in good company.

     

    I guess you are stating that Syntax is more important than Semantics.

    However, I think that both are important.

     

    Why?

    Just examine the meaning and usage of the world 'recoil', and to 'recoil from', etc.

    It is probably not possible to recoil TOWARD or TO something.

    If you get my drift, then you will see that both Syntax and Semantics is important for communication using any spoken/written language, such as English, and many others.

     

    Correct?

     

     

    No. Incorrect and more strange. Native speakers understand meaning in casual conversation. Only debate-club weirdos try to press grammatical errors to their advantage in conversation.
