The Grammar of Politics Thread

Now that I think about it, the "with your bullshit" part is actually always there when you tell a person to **** off. It's implied. No one ever gets told to **** off unless they just said some bullshit.

But the subject wouldn't be "you"-- "you" is the direct object. The speaker (in this case me), would be the subject. Since it's an imperative (e.g. a command), think of it as "[strike]I want you to[/strike] **** off [strike]with your bullshit

Well this brings me back to the horrors of grammar classes taught by Sister Martin. But the subject of an imperative sentence is always you. 😀

This may sound strange, but every single command has the same subject! Yikes! How is that even possible?

Well, since commands are always speaking to someone or something (you've got to address them if you're going to ask them to do something), the subject is always the word you.

You may have noticed that the word "you" is not even in a command. Because of this, the subject is actually called you understood, and it is written like this: (you)

This means that the subject is the word you, but since you is not written or spoken in the sentence, it is simply understood and is written in parentheses.

I think obscure is not a relative measurement, but rather an absolute one.

Everything is relative. Except uniqueness.

That's a somewhat unique point of view.

OK, here's mine. Obviously without Googling - longest English word without repeated letters.

Hint: think of what the ending could be.


That's an easy one.


Lol

Chillrob's link contains the answer as the first hit.

You often look for possible words with that ending in Scrabble when looking for bingoes.

More Miss Israels posted in this thread, fewer dead children.

Thanks.

FYP, though I agree with the sentiment.
