From the AP Stylebook, 2021: "Don't use the term mistress for a woman who is in a long-term sexual relationship with, and is financially supported by, a man who is married to someone else. Instead, use an alternative like companion, friend or lover on first reference and provide additional details later." Who at the Associated Press hallucinates this stuff and why?
Robert, I thoroughly enjoy your unique observations and style in putting them to paper. Jealous. We are living in a time which makes Orwell's 1984 seem postively normal rather than dystopic. Once you capture language, you have won more than half the battle. I can only wonder where this will end. Will the woke be crushed under the weight of their own tortured vision of the world or will they win by normalizing things that generations of humanity have understood to be aberrations. I have taken to talking to my television which, infuriatingly nevers answers me. Every show, every commercial must feature happy couples and/or groups that meet someone's view of diverse, as though the whole world in comprised of happy interacial marriages/romantic relationships/hookups and a significant number, if not majority of people are either gay or non-binary or have a BFF who is. Oh, to go back to the day of Nielson boxes on TV's when you could show your displeasure by changing channels. Of course, now Big Brother not only knows what you are watching and for how long; He/Him knows everything about you, including where you are at this very moment. I have never had a problem with homosexuality or other alternate lifestyles; to each his, her, or its own. I just don't like it thrown in my face every waking moment. We have bought into Abram Kendi's position, lock, stock, and barrel: the answer to discrimination is reverse discrimination. I am feeling distinctly in the minority these days........................Cheers, Rick
My question is which will be correct going forward?
a) Asociatedness Press
or
b) Associated Pressness
And how will they handle Buckeyes fans who appear to worship "𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙊𝙝𝙞𝙤 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙐𝙣𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮"? calling them "Worthless nuts", while true, seems to diminish them (I live in Ohio, we can do that joke).

Re: Founding Fathers, if ages are expressed as years left before average of death at the time, though still ridiculous, it's not quite so striking...
