"You keep using that word . . . I do not think it means what you think it means." The websites are, in fact, very countable. Google will even do it for you. While I'm on a rant, can people please stop using "less" when they should be using "fewer"? Thank you in advance.

...all the American commentators adopting the British was of speaking of a team or country in the plural, such as, "Arsenal are looking good today," or "France are really struggling."

And that tactic has not been limited to just the current POTUS election.

For example, during the 2004 elections, the Bush campaign relentlessly attacked John Kerry and his military record via swiftboating, which diverted the dialogue away from Bush being AWOL during his "service" with the Texas Air National Guard.

The Republicans relentlessly attacked Bill Clinton on his extra-marital affairs when the most outspoken critics had multiple affairs, sired children with women other than their wives, and have had multiple marriages. Not to mention that Poppy Bush had a mistress.

Trump's honesty, ethics and legalities pertaining to his businesses are suspect at best, but all you hear from the MSM gerbils is "Crooked Hillary," as orchestrated by Trump himself. It keeps the gerbils off the scent of his unethical, if not criminal, business practices.

Trump looks like anything but a picture of health, but thanks to a complicit media, the conversation has been focusing on Hillary's health, despite the fact that the letter from a gastrointestinal specialist that Trump showcases to argue that he's in good health is more bogus than a $3 bill.
