I don't think that Price is demonstrating contempt for languageto do that you have to be aware of the definitions of words and their etymology, which he plainly just doesn't knowand what you do not know about you cannot be contemptible about. He only demonstrates ignorance. Those who ACCEPTED his demands for apology should have told him of his error. By not doing so, THEY demonstrated contempt for the language.
Well, you’ve certainly made the matter crystal clear.
Speaking of black holes, I recall having seen articles about them recently, and some physicists are thinking they would probably be better described topograpically as donuts, rather than spheres. We're probably out of luck calling them black dounts though, as African-American police officers might take offense.
I agree totally.
I would only add, "Unless they share his ignorance," which I don't view as far-fetched.
