Yesterday I tweeted criticism of Trump, and I dropped a F bomb. Some have complained in the replies about how this vulgar display of uncontrolled emotion, as well as me expressing my political opinions, hurts my credibility.
My response? Fuck that.
As a virologist, my professional opinion of this tweet is fuck off, you cowardly, fragile, gaslighting liar whose own repeated extolling of inaccuracies have directly gotten people killed.

(33,232 posts)it's pronounced "eff", so "an F bomb" sounds correct, but it's literally a consonant, and you'd say "a fuck bomb", so...

(12,310 posts)a vowel then it's perfectly okay to use "an" instead of "a". So that's what we do in all of our Forms and Instructions.

The other way is acceptable too but sounds stupid. Lol

(640 posts)I'm from an older generation and we were taught to use "an" if a consonant sounds like a vowel, as well as, if a word started with a vowel. It's only been in the last few years that people decided to drop the word "an" out of our vocabulary and only use "a"

(8,006 posts)It has to do with how it sounds. And IMHO "an F" just sounds better than "a F"...

No problem with that. Red hats better buckle up, because it's going to be a rough ride for them going forward.

(6,448 posts)They revel in their ignorance. Why else has the Confederate stuff made such a resurgence? I know much of it is a backlash to President Obama and they're longing for GREAT times when people were bought, sold, and lynched without consequence.
After Nuremburg, how many convicted Nazis thought to themselves, "Gee, maybe we WERE wrong?"
The only rough ride for them will be when their Satanic Savior faces trial for over 50,000 cases of manslaughter in addition to the traitorous behavior we've seen since his escalator ride an eternity ago.

(6,443 posts)There are situations so grotesque and horrific that demand moral outrage and this is one of them. So she succinctly conveyed the proper human response to having been forced to bear witness to this never ending lethal tragedy that is Agent Oranges psychopathic malice.

(14,164 posts)Any supporter of a politician that spews out the amount of vile filth Trump does has no leg to stand on. Sorry, but you can't run and hide behind faux consternation any more. Even fucking evangelicals ensconced in a double cult worship. They are so happy to fall at the feet of a person that says they are such a big entertainment STAR, they are entitled to walk up to their daughters and grab them by their ******* and they'd presumably be fine with that. And think a person like that is Presidential material, an example to influence their children.
I don't know about anyone else, but I still haven't gotten over those Hollywood Access tapes on the bus. And how so many Americans, many calling themselves good Christians with "family values", would not have refused to vote for the lecherous fat orange turd. Instead it was the opposite.
The Christian Right has lost all moral authority now. And sorry, its not coming back.
