Regarding the modern English words, “tamper” and “to tamp”, they aren’t related. “Tamp” comes from the French, “Tampion” or “tampon” (we use the same word to describe a different thing, but the concept is similar) derives from the tool used to tamp down powder in a gun. “Tamper” is first seen in the 1500’s as a migration from “temper”. It’s a verb that originally was just someone working on or with something and ultimate landed at the meaning we have today implying “interference.”
Came here to point this out.
Really growing tired seeing our beloved pedes failing basic analysis and reason checks. Even worse when mods sticky stuff like this.
It happens all the time. I don’t care that people make mistakes. I care that they are promoted by mods so when lurkers or newbies swing by we look stupid.
I get that good, quality posts take time and effort, and lots of us are so jonesing for new content, we consume more than people can create, so the mods have to “feed the beast” so to speak.
But in this instance there are better posts directly below the stickies.
I am right: What? I did not say that. I said when you want to fortify the ground you use a TAMPER. That is the name of the tool, a TAMPER SQUARE is USED to FORTIFY the ground. Therefore, in their own language, they tampered the election. You see? I did not mean any confusion. When you use a TAMPon, you are fortifying the walls of the vagina as not to fall/bleed out into the panties. You are wrong; no offense, however, you are.
“To tamper” as in, “to interfere” is not the same word as “to tamper” dirt down. They are homographs.
“The Chinese ate a bat and created COVID.” In this sentence it is clear I don’t mean a baseball bat.
“Joe Biden Tampered with the election.” In this sentence I clearly don’t mean, “fortified”. Actually, I just realized the easiest way to tell which verb I’m using, “tamp” or “tamper” you can look at the conjunction I used. “To tamper” uses “with” to describe the object of the sentence. “to Tamp” does not. One can use ‘with’ after, ‘to tamp’, but only to describe the object I am using to do the tamping. One doesn’t say, “I Tampered with the ground so I could build a house.”
You got a sticky on your first day, congrats! Take your W and start a new account tomorrow.
Thanks for pointing me to the article, it’s a fascinating read that shows just how much we are up against, but until you can explain how this is a smoking gun, then it really doesn’t matter how well you understand what words means.
My work is done here, I got the mods to unsticky this before the east coast journalists wake up to scour this site looking for more evidence that we are a group of bonus-chromosome mongoloids.

Every mistake like this is ten steps backwards.
