Cherabim (sic)? Singular? (sick)

Pole Girl Has an Opponent! Thank You, All Cheribs and Seraphs (Oddly Enough, the Singular of these is "Cherabim" and "Seraphim": Go Figure

Is this illiteracy or stupidity? Here's my response.

I'll figure.

One cherub.
Two cherubim or two cherubs.

One seraph.
Two seraphim or seraphs.

So the plural is "cherubim", and neither the singular nor the plural is "cherabim" (sic).

Cherib, cherab - Honestly, are you illiterate or something?

She's innumerate!

Ten dollars says that none of her readers corrects her. What beggars belief is how she got those numbers!

>You have 20 command-staff people. http://www.hcso.tampa.fl.us/2005_Organizational_Structure/Structure.htm.

1. One is a woman; women are almost 51 percent of the county's population;
2. 3 have what looks like Hispanic names; Hispanics are 22.8 percent of the population;
3. Three faces tell me they are black men; blacks are 16.6 percent of the population;
4. The rest are white Anglo-Saxon born-in-the-cotton-wadding-of-the-unfair-affirmative-action-plan-for-too-often-dumb white males, titular lords of the universe, not from ability but from cheating.

According to my math that makes your staff .5 percent women;15 percent Hispanics; 6.6 blacks; 78 percent white guys. Those percentages are obscenely out of line with the population distribution.<



Holy crap! Your maths is terrible! Honestly, your ignorance in a basic life skill such as percentages is deplorable.

One out of twenty is five per cent. Two out of twenty is two lots of five per cent - ten per cent.
What I find truly disturbing is that any comments you have made about teachers' pay and a pay rise of such-and-such percent were based on something of which you have no idea.

Now, try those numbers again. See me after class if you are still innumerate.

Vox Pop supports Lee's inability to understand what quotation marks do.

http://leedrurydecesarescasting-roomcouch.blogspot.com/2009/08/i-bet-this-riles-up-blogaroos.html

This is getting ridiculous. Here's my response I posted.

"You don't like "my goodness", Vox? I'll use some of your abbreviated profanity instead, perhaps.

Lee posted her comment before Creamcheese's comment "clearing it up", but AFTER Creamcheese's original post that contained the quote in quotation marks.

Interestingly, Creamcheese's post was punctuated correctly so that the meaning was clear, yet Lee "didn't quite understand". You, however, write and punctuate like an imbecile so that few could work out wtf you are on about.

"no one misinterpreted her intention"? Whom tf did "her" refer to in your post?

Write clearly please, you name-calling bimbo."
