“It’s” not that hard, Ben.

I think E-Mart is right, “democrats” is being modified, not the number of them. For example, Lieberman only counts as .2 of a democrat.

OK, how about “quality” time? Or a “quality” automobile.

Would that be high quality or low quality? Or maybe just plain average quality. It can’t just be “quality” and make any sense!

Well, since we’re sounding off:

I hate it when people use “loose” instead of “lose”… Oh, and of course, the misuse of: there, they’re, and their. Don’t get me started on “thier”!

You know what else I hate? When writers use “it’s” when they mean “its.” Its not that hard folks!

And typo in the post: it was 19 who voted for cloture.

I think that should be “19 approximate Democrats.”

You’re so base10-centric!
