92. Beware posts written in Republicanese
"That is why I chose Trump over her. He doesn’t have us in his sites." Really? Which websites might those be, anyhow?
Using "sites" instead of "sights" is like using "your" instead of "you're," "loose" where "lose" was meant, or using an apostrophe to form a plural. These are classic indications of a Republican posing as one of us, the same way they use "Democrat" instead of Democratic.
What an arrogant ass. Plenty of DU-folk post Malaprops - nads, notoriously, though at least English is something like her 3rd or 4th language - I'm sure he has. I wonder if DFW knows, without using a search engine, why "Malaprop" is properly capitalized.
As for moles, does DFW think they're too stupid to realize they should disguise their posting style? For example, if I had a mole, my posts would be brief, use short, simple, sentences, under-use commas, use no hyphens, and never use coined words.
