Trump just got bullied on the world stage

existed for almost the entire 20th century. For example, the New York Times was still occasionally spelling potato with an –e in 1988. In fact, one can easily find spellings of potatoe all the way up to 15 June of 1992, at which point they suddenly drop off or become used in an ironic way, referencing this incident. Quayle may have misspelled the word, but in doing so perhaps he taught the rest of us how to not make his error.

I didn't say it was never a word. I said it's not a word. The word is potato. Spelling it wrong, even if others have done so and continue to do so, doesn't change the fact that it's not a word.

Yea, the liberal establishment suddenly decided the alternative spelling was no longer valid because it would destroy their narrative / seminal moment about Dan Quayle being an idiot. I had multiple teachers teach me the alternative spelling. As well, I even watched at least one news report (IIRC more than one) in which the anchorman / journalist stated that Quayle was not wrong about the alternative spelling. Quayle did not misspell the word. He did choose the less popular spelling, but he was one hundred percent correct.

existed

A major newspaper publication, nay the premier newspaper publication used it in 1988. Do you think there was a memo in 1989 in which Oxford, MW, etc. were eradicating the alternative spelling?

Think dude.

Either way, it's not a word.

Go find pretty much any pre VP Quayle dictionary. You'll find the alternative spelling. Or do you think it's a coincidence that such a suddenly high-profile word had it's alternative spelling eradicated? I get that it's in your playbook to point and laugh at any 'conspiracy' that doesn't suit you. But if you believe that (which you don't), then you're even dumber than I've assessed you to be.

[AaronY]

Poor Dan Quayle another casualty in the war on Conservatism by the MSM, liberalism, and maybe even a few illuminatis or two. But we won't forget em! Three cheers to our martyred brother! Hip hip hurrah! Hip Dip Hurderp! Herp derp hurpityderp derp!

Like I say, I don't believe you're that dumb. You can cackle if it makes you feel like you're proving anything. I get that you're masking though.

It's really not that hard for a few people in pivotal positions to change obscure nomenclature, dude. Good attempt at trying to make it all sound like the grandest of conspiracies, though. Shows how insecure you are about where you stand on this.

Yea, it's all a big ing coincidence that the alternative spelling of potato was omitted from the dictionary after the media blatantly / erroneously attacked Quayle on it. It's all a big ing coincidence that it was omitted in conjunction with that being the seminal moment of selling the world on his stupidity.

[Will Hunting]

is he really claiming dictionary conspiracy theories now?

[dabom]

You shouldn't really debate people that can't admit wrongness. Especially if it's something so simple.

[AaronY]

those who control the means of potato spelling control the people brahs

how is this hard to understand?
