Well, to save the suspense, your post scored a 6.6 Flesch-Kincaid grade level test.

Ouch. A lot of broken glass created when you threw that stone.
I also only have a high school education and don't tell everyone that I have a Wharton education...

Yup, especially when they're stupid enough to vote against their own self-interests.

Elitist rant.


Prefer your lies with perfect diction?


Obama mis pronounced corpsman twice


Obama miss pronounced Hollande....


When a high falutin lawyer politician, media labeled great orator, makes a flub, it is a headline story. The guy lives by punctuation, sentence structure and inflection and he can't pronounce common words???? what? was he born in Kenya or something?


Problem is the ability to communicate does not always rely on perfect diction and word choice.


You can keep your docvctor if you like your doctor! PERIOD!


What do you suppose he meant to communicate using that statement, with an emphasis on no qualifications so those simple words could not be mis interpreted.


Diagnostic of TDS, now that Russia and delegitimizing his election, the losers now go after Trumps sentence structure. Yep, if he improperly strings words of a sentence together it invalidates the content.


Elitist dems at work.

President Tweety Tantrump really thinks he has all the "best words." He has no intellectual curiosity, so he doesn't make an effort to learn anything new. He gets offended and spouts off on Twitter instead of actually taking the time to look at how he might improve his vocabulary and communication skills. Words mean things. It's how we get thoughts, ideas, and concepts across to other people. It's rather important to be able to do that skillfully in matters of diplomacy. Public safety really depends on that skill.

Not sure that Trump's style of speaking can be considered as being "clear to all."

Obama's vocabulary sounded like somebody that was once the president of Harvard Law School. Oh wait.
