show up as typed because of the KNOWN glitch that has been published here for many months. You haven't seen the comments in the ATA section about the contractions problem in the title lines??

Here's the sentence without the glitch:
That's it?? BTW, the contraction I just typed for "that's it" won't show up as typed because of the KNOWN glitch that has been published here for many months." LOL @ your "sic" as if that has some deep meaning to you about your correctness.

I see the problem, though. You should focus on the word PRESIDENT. Neither Martin O'Malley NOR Bernie Sanders were in a CAMPAIGN for President. Neither one was in an ELECTION for President.


Martin O'Malley was not in a Presidential campaign. Martin O'Malley was not in a Presidential election.

Bernie Sanders was not in a Presidential campaign. Bernie Sanders was not in a Presidential election.

Hillary Clinton WAS in a Presidential campaign. Hillary Clinton WAS in a Presidential election.

Here is the definition for "President". Note it doesn't talk about also-rans, lol.


1.

(often initial capital letter) the highest executive officer of a modern republic, as the Chief Executive of the United States.


2.

an officer appointed or elected to preside over an organized body of persons.


3.

the chief officer of a college, university, society, corporation, etc.


4.

a person who presides

So looks like the 7 people on the jury got it just fine , too...
