But perhaps you know better than the OED.

I know enough not to use the OED as my source for American language norms.

Did you guys read and comprehend the article itself, or did you just proofread the text for spelling errors? I can't believe how much time is spent on trivia. We are not going to live forever, you know. And if we can contribute something in our short spans, then I believe that would be time well spent. The article was a good read, and reflects my own feelings about Islam, or whatever is the politically correct term for this belief system. We need to turn slightly nazi, and pound these 'belivers' with some truths about the world, and people, and what it is like to live in peace. Trying to force the world into living in the twelfth century with some wrong-headed ideas is bound to cause more death and destruction. Like a cancer, this crap needs to be cut out. Problem is, who will do it?

More trivia: did you know a large number of typographical errors that make it to print are in the headlines, in big bold letters? That's because proofreaders tend to skip over heads and subheads to scrutinize the main body of the text.

And yet more trivia: women tend to be better proofreaders than men. Maybe a pattern recognition thing. I'm not sure.

Don't be dissing trivia. A whole mound of it together is called "expertise."

It's a battle of ideas - sharpen swords must be ready - a "feint" might come in handy. Our goal? To stand up to their ideas and debunk them. Then turn, listen, come up with new attacks, and come back for more. It's the only way.

The people in Muslim counties are brainwashed and bullied -- bully and victim. That's it. Muslim systems give rewards to bullies. And benefits to the submissive bullied. There are no other groups. It's all in there. Every sick twisted perverse incentive known to man -- and it can be countered. The reason their countries are creepy poor outhouses instead of powerful respected nations is because their systems are artificially propped by oil, religion and hate. Take away the oil and the whole middle east has the GNP of Norway... And it's not our fault and it's not the fault of the "Joos". It's their fault. And here is why. Then we fill in the blanks. I can name many right now. But it's got to be a group effort. A war of ideas. Explain why their destiny has been their own fault. It's not written - it's being written. By them. And they can change it. And show them how that works. And why. Over and over and over again. Their systems, their fault. Over and over...
