If you are worried about credibility in your ‘ Urban Dictionary ‘ you are LOST. Our Republic hangs in the balance and your concern is the English language?

Perhaps a re-reading, or maybe even a first reading, of the article would be appropriate.

It’s the author, not I, who raised the question of language use.

He rests part of his argument on the use of proper grammar in defiance of political correctness, specifically his use of the term ‘fairy’.

The author then uses the ‘Urban Dictionary’ as his source reference to back his claim of proper usage.

I agreed with premise, as noted, but chastised the use of a non-reference as legitimate source reference.

I stand by my statement as completely in context with the article and subsequent discussion on this thread.
