I have never heard the name but I totally believe you. What are they?

Edit: I guess I found them. You are talking about “The Anti-Fascist Guide to Grammar” facebook group, right? This is scary and dumb. Pointing out spelling mistakes instead of flaws in their logic, spreads their narrative without putting a counter narrative beside it.

First: I’m sorry for having mistaken you for a jerk. There have been a lot over on r*ddit and here I have seen them too, but you aren’t one of them and I’m sorry.

Second: I’m still not convinced either. It doesn’t say “Vote the Democrat party”, I see now how this would be wrong. Adjectives always stay before a noun (or at the end of a sentence after a form of to be). In the case of “Vote Democrats”, “vote” is the verb and “Democrats” the object and therefore a noun (in contrast to “democratic votes” were votes is a noun and democratic the adjective).

Sure, the post doesn’t say that neither. “Vote a Democrat” or “vote your local Democrat” would work but a singular without an article of any kind not so much.

This is just grammar nazi bullshit. Give me empirical evidence that anybody would say “Vote Democratic”. It’s a phrase I’ve never heard but I’m not American and not a native speaker. The authority lies with native speakers but not language purists who think they are better than others.

That’s when Google turns English into other languages.

Close, but no. It’s the other way around. Why would you want to turn something intelligible into gibberish? That ain’t doesn’t make no sense! It’s turning other languages into English to understand them.

That kinda contradicts my first statement but that heightens the chance that at least one of my statements is true. And since both disagree with yours, best chance is yours is wrong.

Das ist natürlich ehrenwert das “richtig” zu stellen aber du kontrollierst deine Kunst nicht mehr sobald du sie in die Welt gesetzt hast.

Do you have any idea what a translation is? Aristotle spoke English, obviously, but Socrates didn’t so it was translated for him in Ancient Greek

lugal, to 196 in Ancient rule

But they didn’t call it “Ancient Greece” because they didn’t speak English

Like in the Dinosaurs episode where the boy asks “why are we counting the years backwards? Are we waiting for something?”

Sure, check this out!

Democrats are one of the two parties in the US so “vote democratic” doesn’t make sense. How else would you vote?

Grammar nazis are just nazis. We don’t want you here. Go back to r*ddit

lugal, to anarchychess in What can I do in this position? (I'm thunder btw)

I was totally seriously referring to the “bishop went on vacation, never came back” joke. Maybe I was longer on r*ddit than you were but that was a thing (or maybe still is). Maybe I was too cryptic, donno.

True. I had a lobotomy as a kid and it didn’t effect me in any negative way. This woke nonsense is going too far!

No but seriously: there was an attempt to kill him, wasn’t there?
