re: #107 Prof. Backpfeifengesicht, PhD

That’s what I assumed. I still stand by my statement that he is a disgusting pig ;)

As for teabonics… I avoid the term. It is supposed to mean that those rednecks can’t spell because they’re ignorant. But it does so by comparing their signs to ebonics, which is basically a black dialect. If the analogy is to hold… you see where it leads. I understand that people don’t use it to offend blacks, but I can see how this can offend.

It isn’t how it is meant, but how it is received that matters.

this is the responsibility of the speaker, not the listener.
