I think "whence" is a near-perfect example. "Whence" means "from what origin".
The word is used nearly exclusively in the phrase "from whence it came", or "from (from what origin) it came"

Uh huh.
"taint" is from " 't ain't dick, 't ain't asshole". As the proper spot to press is, in fact, the very base of the "dick", 't ain't taint.
The proper nomenclature for the anterior perineum is actually "gooch".
And for come reason, they all have to pee.
What he wants is the focus on "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" as used in the 14th amendment. He isn't after birthright citizenship. He wants formal recognition that certain people are not owed constitutional protections.
Immediately, he wants "immigrants" to be in the same category as "enemy combatants", whose rights and privileges are defined by international treaty, rather than recognized by the constitution.
This particular manner of death is one in a trillion. The odds that these three were going to die in a car together was quite a bit closer to parity.
I would call that "fraud". In declaring themselves "gynecologists", they are effectively advertising that they are qualified and willing to perform routine gynecological procedures. Their refusal to do so constitutes a fraud on patients seeking such services.
"Neonatology", "Histology", "Reproductive physiology" and "Reproductive biology" are comparable specialty fields wherein the practitioner would not be expected to perform elective abortions.
Additionally, if they would prefer to call themselves "general practitioners", I would be far more lenient in allowing them to define their own scope of practice.
~~Fair~~ Ok
FTFY.
I’m a gynecologist. My religion says I can’t do an abortion.
I would say that if "you" won't perform an abortion, "you" are not actually a gynecologist. Go study and practice urology, or proctology, or gastroenterology, or oncology, or neurology, or cardiology, or dermatology, or any other field where "you" will not be called upon to perform a simple, routine procedure.
Jon Stewart, 2028.
The problem with Reagan and Trump isn't that they were actors. The problem is that they were complete pieces of shit long before they were elected.
Actor-presidents have demonstrated a natural propensity for revolutionary disruption of entrenched attitudes. Reagan completely fucked over economic policy; Trump is completely fucking over the fundamental concept of democracy.
Imagine that same degree of revolutionary disruption moving us toward egalitarianism rather than corpo-fascism.
Lawmakers should be pilloried.
I would say this is not universal. For some, the written word is the native "tongue", conveying the actual, intended meaning. The written word allows the speaker the opportunity to evaluate and revise their language to match their intent, and the listener the opportunity to re-evaluate previously transmitted thoughts.
The oral variant is dependent on the real-time aptitude of the speaker to articulate their thoughts and message, and for the listener to extract that meaning from the same. For those of us handicapped in these traits, the spoken word is the poor facsimile for actual (written) communication.
