    This time she's right on grammatical grounds. Of course, I can't think of any other groups that are on the warpath.
    I have to disagree. If I state that a lot of rich liberals go to the beach, that does not mean that ONLY rich liberals go to the beach, it just means that many (i.e. a lot) do. No further meaning is in that sentence. I am not saying that poor conservatives do not go to the beach. I have made no statement on them and their beach going habits. It would be incorrect to assume that I have commented on their behavior.

      Liberals are racist. What else is new?

        "A lot of rich liberals do this or that" - agreed, the statement isn't restricted to the nominated group.
        "A lot of rich liberals (and foreign liberals) do this or that" - the statement does implicitly act to restrict the range. Without the brackets, not so much.

          Nor are you making a statement concerning what percent that rich liberals makeup of those on the beach itself. It is just a simple statement that can be clarified and expanded upon as needed.

          I'm always still in trouble again

            The phrase "a lot of" does not imply "every" or "only".

            • And, the crazy German cat lady has once again managed to turn the focus away from content to pedantic arguing over language.
              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                Oh, don't worry, nobody is under any illusion that this thread didn't crash and burn several pages ago. Seems to be a habit of hers: start a deliberately provocative thread, watch her arguments get handily demolished in short order, then desperately derail her own thread to an irrelevant side issue before abandoning it.
