Could we PLEASE stop disrespecting the First Lady?

[Cereal Kyller]

The names are spelled differently: Rep. Batshit's name is M-I-C-H-E-L-E. One L.

The beautiful, intelligent wife of our President is Michelle, with the normal, sane spelling. But far too often---including here on DU---I see "Michelle" Bachmann.

Let me state my opinion clearly: The Great Bat of Minnesota isn't fit to hem the dress of the First Lady, thus, even though I remain far short of the magic 1,000+, I urge all DUers to clean up their language.

Yours in Spell Checking, :patriot:

1. Tell ya what pisses me off

I thought of 'Cereal killer' weeks before you were even born!

3. There was a cartoon in "Twilight Zone" magazine back in the 1980s

It shows a man standing outside a store window reading a newspaper headline: Cereal Killer Stalks City

Inside the store, theres a guy angrily shredding a box of Rice Krispies with a butcher knife. :rofl:

5. Well, you definitely get points from me ...

... for a "Twilight Zone Magazine" reference. You and I may be the only ones here to remember that magazine.


Welcome to DU.

4. I've never made that mistake b/c I never use Bachmann's

first name.

8. Could we PLEASE stop abusing the English language?

Disrespecting as well as diss and dissing are not legitimate words.

10. Every mainline dictionary defines the usage as as slang
