    WVU OC has called a good game but that was a terrible series. 

    I'm sorry, but no matter how good you called a game, if you call a draw play up the middle on 1st and 15, you suck

    That is our best-case scenario.  It may even be the most likely scenario.

    But the worst-case scenario remains in play.

    That scenario SHOULD NEVER EVEN FUCKING BE IN PLAY.  THE VERY FACT THAT IT IS IN PLAY IS A FUCKING DISASTER.  WE SHOULD NEVER, EVER EVEN HAVE THIS FUCKING CONVERSATION.

    There is a bright side. Our system is holding up while under attack. We are winning.

    I mean, from a weird, twisted, bizarre perspective, Trump fans might see this as proof of the "deep state." They're not wrong, but they're wrong about who the "deep state" is. It's not the President, it's not Congress, it's not (God forbid) the UK or shadow agencies.

    The Deep State is us. Because we are a democracy. Trump isn't being pushed out by a conspiracy. He's being pushed out by millions of American voters, servicemen, government employees, volunteers, who continue to believe that the people are first and no man is bigger than the rest of the country.

    We fucking won.

    Now take the loss, you pussy Trump, and don't ever talk to me or my country again.

    Yes, it is another example of misusage of a word being so common that it makes it into the dictionary because dictionary definitions reflect usage, not proper usage. 

    And, yeah, I'm a snob about it.  I just think it makes people sound lazy and stupid.

    Is sloppiness in speech caused by ignorance or apathy? I don't know, and I don't care.
