Has McCarthyism returned to the USA? When people start dropping like flies during the next Bird_Flu pandemic, those antivaxers will be first in line, begging for a vaccination.

How do you pronounce an internet router, anyway? Some say rooter or rooster. Just terrible. Also, what really takes the cake is the fact that Social Media users are creating a language used while texting, and not having full sentences, and that this new language is Tainting spoken and written English, up to the High School level, already. In another decade, perhaps this new language will be much more developed, and spoken everywhere, replacing proper English, already.

Nor worries. He does not understand Formal Logic, or two statements in Formal Logic, connected by the AND symbol. If you write the statement logically, and then convert to an English Sentence, then.. One MUST include the word AND. He does not understand this finer point of logic. I am Science teacher. plus I always like to use many atoms in my writing. If you are going to connect these two, then one MUST add an and, either in symbolic logic terms, or just use the word AND in a written sentence. He just does not get it.

Obviously, she is just one more nurse who paid attention and obtained good grades in her anatomy and physiology classes at university.

Why are construction workers, plumbers, and home builders always shouting at each other. Is it due mostly to lack of formal education? Or, is it due to having gone stone deaf after exposure to those grinding machines they are always listening to?

Oh, no worries... Just pronounce it -CH=CH2

Geeze... Is it really against forum rules for me to make a facetious comment, once in a while? Anyway, for sure, joking aside, we need to raise the minimum factory wage around the world before we can actually have free and unfettered trade between countries.

China is already invading Africa, BIG TIME.

Maybe he is against the exploitation of workers, worldwide. We need a minimum wage for workers, around the world, perhaps. Then, there might be less need for tariffs.

People who warp the English language in India always require subtitles in YouTube videos.

I am mostly ONLY against ofTen. Not sure how we got started talking about other ways of pronouncing other words, and strange word-usages.

I think that's NYC and Philly talk, pretty much, already. I like it, already. Reminds me of home, already. I never speak this way, but I love listening to those who do, already.

So, if true, then this is the way it should be: Keep tariffs super high on China until the country loses/exterminates/deports Xi and becomes Democratic. And, keep tariffs until China raises minimum wage to USD15.00 per hour. I am pretty sure this has been Trump's plan from the beginning. a. To reduce tariffs between Free Nations. b. To increase tariffs on the ChiCom Bandit State, with Xi as the Great Helmsman and Criminal of the People. We need to take back the stolen BILLIONS that Xi has stolen. We need to have free elections in China. And, we cannot have China threatening the world and threatening its neighbors. China must acknowledge that Taiwan in a separate country, as has always been the case. OR, We will increase tariffs on China goods to 300 percent....BIG TIME....! (Please note that the reporter for DW in the linked vid seems to be wearing a lady's NUT-BROWN suit, of some sort. I don't like nut-brown in clothing.)

When we start making exceptions for random words, such as the word often, then things can go awry. We should enforce, reinforce, and teach everyone that the T in often should be pronounced just as much as the T in listen. And, no college professors should be allowed to pronounce the T in often, just as this rule was always in effect when I was at university. There needs to be some uniformity at universities.

Importantly, one really cannot NOT have tariffs on countries, such as China, that exploit and employ SLAVE LABOR. One needs to protect one's economy from all countries that use SLAVE LABOR. And, we need to punish US companies that setup factories in countries that allow slave labor. For this purpose, tariffs are a godsend. The problem is that many US companies LOVE SLAVE LABOR. Instead, these days, we should enforce the use of Robotics whenever feasible to do so. Some people in some countries love to argue about the many BENEFITS of slave labor. And I agree that such people should be enslaved for a decade, just to teach them the many benefits of being a slave.

Such a sad image. All factory work needs to be automated, to the highest degree possible.

I never did. I love tariffs on China. But, I think I mentioned I would like to cut tariffs on the EU, UK, to zero. Zero tariffs for all trading partners. But, I am no Navarro-type economist from Harvard.

Yes. Just spell it like it is supposed to be spelled (spelt). And, do not use "spelt", either.

I AGREE that this was not done in the proper sequence. Should have boosted tariffs on China to 204%. First. CommieChina is our enemy, and will be in the hot war of the future. We cannot continue to add to the economy of a country which is spending large on its military which, obviously, they intend to use against our interests. Who knows now, though, how to stop trade with China. But it must be done. Navarro is a nutcase, though, I agree with you. His book was so-so, but not original, and not that good. Maybe he was not the one who actually wrote his book on China.

I will lisTen to you when you know why ofTen is not correct.

Of course there are other words that, when I hear them incorrectly pronounced, make me explode. But, ofTen is the most egregious example of mispronunciation I can think of....because the T is rapidly taking over the world, these days. Also, someone here mentioned the word veHicle. As I recall, John Candy once pronounced the H, but he was doing it solely for the purpose of mocking cops, maybe. Also, you can never predict when someone you are talking to might slip in the T. And then, one must bite one's tongue.

Who were the IDIOTS, then, who voted CommieChina into the WTO? Anyone remember that? All the idiots said: Open up trade with China, and China will automatically become a democratic country. Who were the nincompoops who believed that? Maybe you are not old enough to clearly remember recognition by the USA of CommieChina. There are so many false beliefs about China, floating around. They do not know China. THEY are the idiots. We were all FOOLS (not I, of course), for not diversifying production, far more, and trusting The Commie Bandits in Beijing. Deal with the Devil, and get burned....ALIVE. ============= It's too late, now, to make decoupling from China easy. We should never have gotten in this deep, from the beginning, back in the early 80s. And, COKE thought it would be one of the first into that market. FOOLS, all, because they lack understanding, completely. We need to separate from China. And, China will never cooperate with the USA or the West. This should be obvious.

Into any given language? OK. Done.

Anything goes in today's Social-Media English.

I am American. The average IQ in Singapore is higher than the average in America. The well-educated class in Singapore write English well, and better than the average American. This is true. However, they do not know how to properly use pronouns, since English is usually not their first language. Who even knows what their first language might be....probably Hakka or MinNanYu, or something.... Who really knows. And, who can even discuss much of anything under such an Authoritarian state where there is no freedom of speech.....?
