That bull outside our window has mooed ceaselessly all night and now it is horse.
Hoarse, son, not horse.
Same thing.
No it’s not. It’s spelled differently.
I’m saying it, not spelling it.
Typical youth of today. You can’t read. You talk talk talk. Or failing that, you text everything and spelling doesn’t matter.
Aha! Aha! Aha! I’ve been proved right!
How so?
That bull just had a baby and it’s a foal. So there!
There’s only A difference between foAl and fool. And bulls can’t have babies.
I give up. You’re just an anti-transgender racist. Totally illogical. And you are homophobic and use plastic. Xenophobic ageist! Come back when you can think straight about gay people and the legalization of maruwanja marjuieguiba maruawana canabas pot.
At least I’m not hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobic.

It is an honor and an achievement to have shut you up, Herb. I mean that in the nicest possible way!

Well, this one gave a good chuckle, Bruce. I get a little crazed when someone calls a foal a pony, so calling a cow a bull and a calf a foal…some people are just so mixed up!

This is kind of like ordering a half calf, de-calf, moo juice latte. We in Rome some years ago. We went into a bar to get a coffee. There was a Spaniard in the bar just beside himself complaining “¡Pedí café con leche y conseguí mariconada espuma!” He ordered cafe con leche and got cappuccino. The foam really bothered him. We told him to order cafe latte if he wanted cafe con leche, but he didn’t understand. I finally ordered a cafe latte for him and he was happy. So much for Spaniards and Italians speaking the same language as the Spaniards used to tell us. Back to your story, in the good old US of A these days, if you are white and male, no matter our orientation, you are considered an ant-transgender racist. Your piece gave me a good chuckle all the same.

I think the trendy positions are relatively world-wide! New Zealand had elections last Saturday and the liberals swept in with a landslide.

This one deeply resonates with me. Language and civilisation as we know them are in final throes of death.

As a once quite militant lesbian feminist animal rightist I find it interesting how I’ve mellowed (or maybe reality has just intruded on my idealism), but I find now that I feel left behind in some of these debates…..

I enjoyed your self description! It’s very hard to keep up – someone once referred to me as “that burnt-out leftie”. I find I have gravitated more and more towards “run of the mill”.
