Source: San Francisco Chronicle
A new study analyzing the grammar of comments posted on presidential candidate Facebook pages finds that Republicans tend to butcher the English language at twice the rate of Democrats.
The study by the grammar-checking app Grammarly found that GOP supporters made an average of 8.7 mistakes per 100 words compared to 4.2 mistakes for Democratic supporters.
The Dems also had the bigger vocabulary, with 300 unique words used on average compared to 245 for Republicans.
... The prize for worst grammar of all went to Donald Trump supporters with 12.6 mistakes per 100 words.

(442 posts)Why beat around the bush? It's obvious that a study would show that democrats are more intelligent than republicans as well.
In fact, one of the most sure fire signs that you are a republican, and one of the more interesting character flaws of the modern republican, is their desire to be governed by people that are not more intelligent than they are. It's couched in their hatred of academia, but the reality is they want to have leaders that aren't more intelligent than they are.
That, in itself, is a pretty sure fire sign that you aren't too bright.
