Reply #8: OMG... wtf? [View All]

having graded standardized essay exams from a couple of states for the last week as a temp.... that made my soul hurt. I don't even have a soul.

A (not an) primary challenge is a nonissue (comma) which sane people already knew.

I think the hyphen after year is not correct.

"And this," - I'm not sure that's correct either.

There should be a comma after the word "polling" in the next sentence.

The next sentence contains an questionable hyphen.

"consider him ideologically to be" is awkward. It should something more like "72% of Democrats consider him to be 'about right' ideologically, and the ones who do have a problem with him are split almost evenly between thinking he's too conservative (13%) and thinking he's too liberal (11%)." There might be some concern about using a numerically represented number (vs. a number that is spelled out) to begin a sentence).

"This divide is what makes a potential primary challenge to Obama even more unlikely- since the Democrats who don't like him have very different reasons for that unhappiness it would be difficult for any single primary challenger to Obama to unite all the dissidents behind them."

The misplaced hyphen in the sentence "This divide is what makes a potential primary challenge to Obama even more unlikely- since the Democrats..." leads me to believe that this is a poorly edited bit of propaganda. The hyphen should be a period, instead. The next sentence should start with the capitalized word "since". There should be a comma after the word "unhappiness".

The next part of this post consists of the following material "Now can we put this to rest along with the racists birth certificate bullsh&t?" There should be a comma after the word "now".

I give this post a zero (0), and an unrec.
