Yeah, you might want to take yer prejudice flag down a little.

Can you and ErrantBaritone start a blog?

'Correct usage' is a nebulous concept. Who decides? What happens when popular pronunciation shifts towards the 'incorrect' (let's say, 'newer') pronunciation of a given word. Y'know, the way that things have happened for fucking centuries?

It's different when it's a borrowed word, because there's a foreign pronunciation that is, for lack of a more nuanced word, 'correct'. Foreign (and Latin) words and names, yeah, fix'm, because the mispronunciations make one sound stupid and are embarrassing (personal experience there, fucking 'Quixotic'), but…

People had it spot on below you, and it really ain't worth getting so worked up over, but try this:

Goddammit, these are all fucking awful responses based on personal preference and ignorance about how language works.

Who... what? Granted, nobody ever says 'cavalcade' anyway, but I'm sitting here wondering how someone even says calvacade.

Ugh, that's some quirky girl romcom bullshit.

Just once, I'd like to see a guy anticipate that move, duck under it, and watch the offensive player just collapse into the guy he was trying to bump.

I'm not sure that 15 points qualifies as 'barely'.

I want to believe.

I think the Tea Party comp is fairly apt: you see responses from NBA fans, but almost all of the handwavey bullshit on social media comes from the hockey fans.

Bill Russell. Eras matter.

So, idiot original comment aside, you're stupid.

Are you all stupid right now? I get it, you feel upset because your brain didn't pick up on the eeextreeeeeeeeeeeeemly subtle joke about Jordan worship. Like, really, you think that people think Jordan would have left the game and show repaired what trained technicians were unable to? How elusive is that joke? Why…

I know you're just some idiot burner troll with wild racist tendencies who doesn't know shit about basketball, who 'hates the greedy culture of the game' despite NBA players being some of the more conscientious, charitable athletes in the country, and who thinks that it's totally normal to eat his own jism, but I'll…

Oh my god. Somehow I'd never seen this. Thank you.

Could we, maybe, y'know, stop accepting Ansari's racist 'huh hip-hop people are stupid' bullshit as comedy?

Accidents. Not that surprising, given the incredible lack of concern police in Mississippi show wrt open containers in cupholders.

Do you guys not get the point of this? I'm not saying it's conclusive evidence that whites are all a bunch of racists, but the fact that support from non-whites has reverted to pre-decision levels, while support from whites hasn't is clearly indicative of something.
