John Milton as Lucifer is the best character in Paradise Lost. anneboleyn Aug 2017 #66

The Trumpers pointed that out, too, as if that shut her down. kcr Aug 2017 #16

Stands. It's the exception that proves the rule. They should put one in their own church Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2017 #30

Yeah, since she's never been there, her point stands just fine. greyl Aug 2017 #76

LOL, really - logic ain't their strong suit (nt) klook Aug 2017 #79

She just needed to specify: "US church." pnwmom Aug 2017 #26

If Chelsea has not been to that church or seen it, her statement yet stands. LanternWaste Aug 2017 #32

As a rule images of Lucifer , and Judas while we're at it, aren't venerated in Christ. Churches. JHan Aug 2017 #38

And since we're quite sure that there are luvtheGWN Aug 2017 #40

Yup.. JHan Aug 2017 #55

True, the imagery wouldn't be venerated. And yet... Beartracks Aug 2017 #71

Good for Chelsea jayschool2013 Aug 2017 #4

I have written about that common error: tblue37 Aug 2017 #15

Bravo jayschool2013 Aug 2017 #22

Based on your user name, I assume you teach journalism. nt tblue37 Aug 2017 #23

Oui jayschool2013 Aug 2017 #81

I teach college English--and have done so since 1972. nt tblue37 Aug 2017 #87

WOW jayschool2013 Aug 2017 #90

Personally, I like to see spaces on both sides of the hyphen -- since it is a phrase separator Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2017 #25

Commas seem to do the trick. Just keep it simple. brush Aug 2017 #36

I agree. The clause is not an interjection, so dashes (em or en) aren't appropriate. Demit Aug 2017 #45

Word won't turn your hyphens into an m-dash if you add those spaces. nt tblue37 Aug 2017 #57

I use LibreOffice (successor to OpenOffice). Word is Microsoft; therefore it is brain-damaged. Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2017 #62

Thanks for the keystrokes for the m-dash. nt tblue37 Aug 2017 #67

Your essay is excellent PJMcK Aug 2017 #56

Actually, I have an article about ellipses, too: tblue37 Aug 2017 #58

Not that I counted her characters, but you have to do a lot of phylny Aug 2017 #20

Twitter has a character limit which doesn't allow for us to be as ecstatic Aug 2017 #47

Agreed jayschool2013 Aug 2017 #82

Any fonts/keyboard layouts that make em and en dashes possible? TenHouseCats Aug 2017 #59

Yes, it can easily be done with iPhone & iPad keyboards. bluepen Aug 2017 #60

A world of difference between this self-made intelligent woman, and the vapid and dumb Ivanka secondwind Aug 2017 #11

Not so much difference to prevent Chelsea and Ivanka from being close friends... PoliticAverse Aug 2017 #13

From the not at all vapid source of the celebrity section of people dot com! n/t kcr Aug 2017 #19

Vapid indeed. Here's 1:52 of Chelsea with her comment on her Ivanka friendship at the end... PoliticAverse Aug 2017 #34

An even better analogy would be Mussolini statues in Italy. JHan Aug 2017 #39

Many churches have statues or stained glass art depicting archangels triumphing over Lucifer. JoeStuckInOH Aug 2017 #41
