His latest was a call to stop calling Social Security an “entitlement” because it is NOT an entitlement, it’s his money because he paid into it and they are giving him his own money back.
It’s obvious that he does not know the meaning of the word “entitlement.” It means (1) a right to something specified by law or contract, (2) a belief that one is deserving of or is entitled to certain privileges, (3) a government program providing benefits to members of a specified group, also (4) funds supporting or distributed by such a program. Sounds like Social Security meets all the qualifications of the dictionary’s definitions of entitlement.
Another pet peeve showed up the other night when I was watching a college basketball game on ESPN. The “analyst” said of a certain player that he was the best 3-point shooter in the conference, if not the country.
Nonsense! I looked up the statistics and the player’s percentage of 3-point shots made placed him 4th on the TEAM. So, he is not even the best 3-point shooter on the TEAM let alone the conference and certainly not the country.
It was obvious that the ESPN “analyst” never bothered to do any research on the teams.
