72. When often confronting Republicans, it is not uncommon to occasionally lapse into Republicanese
It is not German, but often at least as confusing. As a brief guide:
EXCERPTS FROM THE OFFICIAL DICTIONARY OF REPUBLICANESE In Republicanese, many words that sound alike may be spelled differently at random. A few prominent examples: In Republicanese, the following words may be spelled at random using any of the three ways given: A.) Two, Too, To B.) Their, They're, There c.) Your, Yore, You're The Republicanese version of Robin Hood therefore starts with "In days of you're...." The only rule is that the correct use of them as in English is never permitted twice in a row. Words with single letters that change meaning when that letter is doubled must never be used in correct English context. The classic example is “lose” vs. “loose.” In Republicanese, if you do not win an election, then you “loose” that election. Conversely, if your (Republicanese: you’re) belt is too tight, you need it more “lose” in order to be comfortable. Another example would be the Republicanese, “I met Donald Trump, and he was rudder than I imagined,” vs. “I grabbed the ruder and was able to steer the boat to shore.” In Republicanese, as opposed to English, an apostrophe is used to form a plural. But it must be done at random, never systematically. For example, Bill and Hillary are "the Clinton's," but Bill, Chelsea and Hillary are "the Clintons." The other way around is also correct. In Republicanese, either form is correct as long as it is not spelled the same way twice in a row. |
