When somebody pulles their advertising, somebody else takes their

Beck's ad revenue has been cut in half. They're either having to sell
his time for less or they're running fewer ads.

It means something to "H the K," else he wouldn't have made his
particular appeal to Tim.

He said "Christian with a conscience", so I suppose
you could have said "Doesn't Beck have a conscience?".
And that would have been pretty damn funny.

But the full sentence... "You present as a Christian
with a conscience." doesn't make any sense anyway.


Sure it does.

"You present as a Christian with a conscience." makes
sense to you? Perhaps you may have left out an
important word that clarifies who you're talking about?
Maybe the word "yourself", if you were talking about Tim,
would have made it clear? Otherwise I could have just as
easily inserted the word "him" and it would sound like
Tim has previously presented Beck as a Christian with a
conscience, which, of course, would have been hysterical.

One of the many meanings of the word "present" includes the way
I used it.

He "presents" as a Christian means he either directly or indirectly
comes across as someone who follows teachings of the Christian religion
with a conscience. We have a couple of dirtbags here who present
themselves as Christians but who do not follow the teachings.

Yeah, so obvious that you jumped on it like a skanky whore.

What do you mean, "like a skanky whore"?

What do you think herring is, if not a skanky whore?

One of the many meanings of the word "present" includes the way
I used it.

In which school do they teach that?

Present = to introduce
Present = a gift
Present = in attendance
Present = now
In law, presents = this document(s)

But I take it that you were referring to the meaning
as "to introduce". "You introduce as a Christian" doesn't
sound right.

He "presents" as a Christian means he either directly or indirectly
comes across as someone who follows teachings of the Christian religion
with a conscience. We have a couple of dirtbags here who present
themselves as Christians but who do not follow the teachings.
^^^^^^^^^

Now there you go. You used the word "themselves" to
delineate your meaning and it becomes clear. Without
specifying "who", you leave it up to the reader to
guess.

I just can't find any examples of your way of using
the word, here...

Is it an ebonics thing?

In order to prove your point you'd think that
in all that you've copied and pasted that the
words "present to be" would occur once. No
such luck.

And you'd think that if it were proper you'd
get at least a few hits on Google with the
exact phrase "present to be Christian". You
get two, but they're both "...present. To be
Christian...". Can you imagine that? No one
on the web has written those words together
in the context you've used?


I can show you the way to the water, but if you want to drink, it is up
to you.

I pointed out the context to you. There's no rule in English that
requires a dictionary to provide an example of every way a word may be
used. There's also no requirement in English that every phrase one uses
results from a previous, similar use.

Hell, there's no rule that requires a name to be spelled a certain way,
right, "Jordon"?

Try 4, 5, 6, and b.I.9.b

See what you can learn from a *real* dictionary?

:)

I see you came with your Howitzer's fully loaded. Erudition and
recondite references win the day. BTW, what is the reference source?


OED, Second Edition, Volume 3.

I have the CD electronic version of that one, plus the
20-volume hardbound set of Second Edition and the supplements.

Bought the hardbound set at an estate sale long before the CD versions
were available, but I still use both.

Also have a hardbound Random Use and Webster's Third International, both
"unabridged," and at least a dozen other English dictionaries.

In here, though, I rarely go beyond language in The New England Primer
or McGuffey Readers. Loogy, Justhate, flajim, BAR, and the rest of the
developmentally disabled are handicapped enough.


Words, words, words. :)
