Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Am I to imply from your comment
that you’ll sit this one out if she’s on the ticket?

cordially,
New Not at all.
Notwithstanding her failure to master the English language, I'd still prefer her over the Senator from MBNA. And, obviously, either to Trump.

Reasonable minds may differ on the importance of proper language use, but by damn, I'm really hoping to live long enough to see someone with at least a second-grader's mastery of the English language occupy the White House.

When they were in grammar school, I would have sharply corrected either of my daughters for the blunder Kamala committed (mind, neither was likely to make this halting error since around the second grade). I'd hope that anyone running to be the leader of the free world, let alone someone who'd clearly interrogated countless witnesses, would have at least a second grader's command of the English language.

New Re: Not at all.
Your own use of English is far from fault-free, so I would counsel that whilst within the confines of the glass house, you'd be wise to put the stones down.
New Am I a prosecutor or running for high office? No.
AND for all my mistyping and occasional grammatical errors, I have *NEVER* confused "imply" and "infer". That is jarring.

New Ahem
Look up a bit and see if you noticed.

New Correctly.
New It's not. It's a slip of the tongue.
This is a very small, shitty hill upon which to die.
New I'm not trying to convince anyone.
I've already conceded it won't have any impact on how I vote. It's just jarring and more than a little disappointing. Worse, I haven't even seen it pointed out by anyone. Language dies in darkness.

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New As has a certain song, "I Wish I Was in Dixie, Hurrah! Hurrah!", er ;^>
..It ain't just La Donna ẻt Mobile ..when whole tribes re-wash their brainz with any /old new Slogan which goes-all-viral.

[or a new-Autocrat, lives out-out a personal C-grade soap-opera, via bull-horn].
Cuth: don't leave Lock-down without it [!] ..as my Mater might have opined.
New So, you did not sense that she had second thoughts after she said it?
Did you see the video with sound or just read her words?

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

-- Isaac Asimov
