Re: Texas grammar
There was a misplaced comma in a federal tariff law I think around the 1880s. Even went to the Supreme Court, and the court backed the meaning with the misplaced comma.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

On a side note, the Daily Mail is made even more entertaining from grammar errors like that. I think more than a few times they reported the murder victim eluding the police lol

Mmmh, the only nation that speaks worse English than the UK is Ireland. And that's saying something since only roughly 5% of the English can speak their own damn language properly.Animavore wrote:"Texan grammar", surely.

I did not say it was Texans. It could be Mexicans. Or the Canadian Ted Cruz. No, it's just gramar located in Texas. So, grammar in Texas.Animavore wrote:"Texan grammar", surely.
