I do know a thing or two about Hip Hop, and all of my black friends are embarassed by the Hip Hop Community. And, no, I don’t care about Hip Hop. Opressed people? Who is the “opressed people” you speak of? Please explain that sentence of yours; the syntax makes the phrase “making something out of nothing” impossible to understand. And, no thank you, I don’t “need” to go to the Hip Hop Powershop. I’ve experienced enough embarassment by just being from the same state as McKinney; I don’t need to further embarassed by being in the same room as she. Exactly, what is it that I would learn? Could you please cite a couple of examples?

It’s obvious that you’ve already freed your mind – in fact, it sounds as though it’s vacuous, completely clear of anything. Worried about your ass being free? A good Fleets will take care of that one!

Have fun!

I ask: ” You didn’t answer my question about how the hyphenation changes the meaning? So, what is it? How does it change the meaning of the passage?”

Accuracy said: “Your version of the “press release” had it all wrong.”

I say: “How can a copy/paste (you do understand what that is, don’t you?) of the EXACT, verbatim, word for word of the press release make it “my version?” It’s the verson of whomever released it – not mine.

Accuracy asked: “…why bother with what was meant…”

I say: “What do you mean ‘what was meant?’ It should not be what was “meant” by the person writing the press release; it should be exactly what is stated in the press release. I know something about press releases, as I’ve written hundreds of them, and my major in college was Journalism/PR. I know the industry rules when writing press releases. You write what you mean – you’re not supposed to make your intended audience opine what you mean.

Accuracy said: “I put it there for the sake of accuracy…”

I ask: “Again… what does the hyphen lend to accuracy, except a small dash between two words? You still have yet to explain what difference it makes in its context.”

Accuracy said: “…and those who know a positive event when they see one….”

I wonder: “Positive? writing about killing veterans is positive?”

*sigh*… I don’t even know why I try. You can’t enlighten the unconscious. You must be a member of the ThugLifeArmy… such an upstanding-sounding organization! If you’re not, sorry I painted you in the same light.

Thanks and come back after the event and blog about what grand social advances are made during the process. ]]> http://www.msunderestimated.com/2006/05/go-to-war-and-kill-veterans/comment-page-1/#comment-114042 MsUnderestimated Wed, 31 May 2006 19:50:25 +0000 http://www.msunderestimated.com/2006/05/29/go-to-war-and-kill-veterans/#comment-114042 Accuracy said: "As I said, hyphenation and the meanings and realities it represents are probably beyond your ability to read it correctly"<br><br>I ask: " You didn't answer my question about how the hyphenation changes the meaning?

It’s quite interesting that you should bring up the hyphen. It does show up when you do a copy/paste of that text into a blank field. However, it does NOT show up in the press realease. Coincidence? By the way, ‘splain this to me if you can: what difference does the dash/hyphen make anyway? It still says “Go to war and kill — veterans.” What is that supposed to mean? It still reads the same to me. Nice try.

Oh, and you’re saying I got it wrong – how can you get “copy/paste” wrong?
