Gay had come under pressure to resign from Harvard's Jewish community and some members of Congress over her comments at the Dec. 5 congressional hearing
it also sounds like she resigned from some members of congress lol just very strange phrasing in this sentence
just move "from Harvard's Jewish community and some members of Congress" to before "to resign" and it becomes still a bit awkward but way easier to understand
Here's a fun fact: speaking as a non-native English teacher, I often see that there are some "mistakes" which are much more likely to be made by natives, oddly enough, and they're usually related to spelling the schwa (compatible vs. *compatable, for instance) or to homophones (they're, their, there). Since non-natives don't typically learn by sound and exposure "alone", as a native might, "translating" spoken into written language is often less of an issue, as both are part of the same package in the second language learning process.
That's why you often see non-natives who make zero spelling mistakes but have weird syntax. I've seen countless texts by students who get their they're/their/there right but write unreadable texts. I've also seen texts from native speakers who are very articulate when writing, but there texts show that their having issues with they're spelling.
Having said that, this is just a very stupid individual. This dumbass is using an object pronoun in the subject position. This is something you learn in the first six months of an English course. I've taught this several times, and typically not even non-natives make this mistake. Assuming he's not speaking a very specific dialect that I'm unfamiliar with, I'd say that this is absolutely not the kind of mistake (if you can even call it that) that a native speaker would make, unless they were really overstressing their two neurons in order to make a ridiculously shitty argument. Their are no wrinkles in there brain.
lmao you just gotta admire how Brace and co. have this ability to stir shit up, like that time when he started the rumor about an ebola outbreak at Burning Man
you're laughing? this young lady was refused candy, and you're laughing?
you know, there's something they can do that would solve all their problems
put me in! let's do this
that's like the first lesson you learn at IDF bootcamp
unless a good relationship with Kim is at stake
I will definitely use this in my group chat that includes a Lucas, just have to figure out how
but now I'm wondering what the context of this actually is! is there a contaminant called Lucas? is it water processed by a company called Lucas Free? or is it water from the crystalline springs of Lucas Free? why does it have an English name if it's made in Argentina?
edit: figured it out, it's some kind of automotive battery, and in Spanish "Lucas" means "discard in", "Free" means "ocean", and oddly enough "Water" means "water", so it's a label telling you to throw it in the ocean once you're done with it
yeah but you gotta see that it's an incredible value, it includes over 175 vessels! that's like just over $250 for each vessel, what a deal!
also thanks for keeping the UlyssesT torch lit!
it's an emotional support firearm, dummy
are you criticizing the IDF's PTSD treatment technique? do you want to keep a brave soldier away from his pet gun? what are you, an antisemite?
