25. I see your point.
Edited on Wed Dec-05-07 07:55 PM by Bucky
The body of my message singled out the OP as an individual. When I first tried to word the subject line (which is where I use the plural "supporters") I orginally used the singular. But that left my subject line too long to fit in the number of characters I needed for the singular construction. So I edited down the verbage in the headline to make my whole point fit there. It's a fluke of the English language that plurals take up less space.

I assumed that the direct personal address in the body of my post would make it clear I wasn't going after all Clinton supporters. I was wrong. I didn't use the word "all", but I should've worded it more clearly.
