The intellectual insecurity of the left is astonishing. The lefty media gets so much wrong and the one that stands out to me was Rachel Maddow declaring the USN hospital ships MERCY and COMFORT could never be where Trump sent them in a week. Because she has no idea how fast ships travel at sea. She has never really been outside nor has she ever "done" anything...I've given up correcting daily news outlets on their mistakes.
We need to fix a market rate to words. My dad called them "tenpenny words", but by the time I was an adult adjusted inflation made them "ten dollar words", but here you are saying they're only worth three dollars.
I propose the following formula:
(average cost of a year of college) x (average years of college) / (percentage of population with any college education) over (number of words in the English language) - (shared language)
That gives us: approximately $34,000 a year (averaging private school with public costs), most people take 4 years of English in college (indeed, in most places it's mandatory), 34% of Americans have at least a four year degree, there are 170,000 "in use" words (including "persnickety", meaning overly obsessed with small details like the cost of words, but excluding obsolete, forgotten, or replaced words, like "finickity" instead of "finicky", "wherefore" instead of "why", etc.), and 30,000 "common use" words that we all share as English speakers (such as "and", "as", "the", etc. -- words you hardly need to go to college to learn.)
($34k x 4 / 0.34) / (170k - 30k) = $400k / 140k = $2.86 per word.
Huh. Your "three dollar words" claim is actually valid. Consider yourself factchecked on the fly.
Now to go see how many words you can purchase by changing a tire...
Because the left equates education with intelligence. They know a bunch of fancy 3 dollar words they made up, but they can’t change a tire.
I'm not even sure that they possess most of the degrees.

i actually helped a young college student change her tire awhile back (she was cute).
2), when i pulled the shredded remains of her old tire off with a crowbar (shed effed it up by driving on it), she was floored.
3), when i smacked the trim back in place (just putting the plugs in the holes), she said, “youre like a wizard with cars.”
im thinking, no lady, im not. i can just change a tire and i grew up hitting my tv to get reception.
