This is not to defend anything else @Millenial_Falcon has done or said, but I thought the title was poorly worded as well. What is anti-human trafficking? To me, this headline equates to "Scalise, who was shot, was a supporter of the trafficking of anti-humans." It would be much more succinct to just write, "Scalise, who was shot, was an opponent of human trafficking."

Big deal. Should we point out something like that just to make the OP feel like shit? We got the point.

I didn't point it out. My reply was to morojax, who was calling out the mod for being illiterate and not knowing english. But those claims were unfounded, based on the original statement. Sure, the dude might be a shill or a pedo, and if so, then he deserves to die. But I still agree that the headline was poorly written.

Well he's wrong too. My point was that the headline being poorly written didn't need to be said. Maybe they did the best they could. There are even people who post and comment that are from other countries.

I just don't think it's right to be downing a fellow voater over a grammar problem. It's things like this that make some people choose to not even post. You saying that you agree with what Morojax said makes it just as wrong.

Yes, I get that some people aren't native english speakers, and that this sub is not for studying grammar. But I also don't think that the OP should or would feel like shit because someone pointed out his or her grammar mistake. I correct foreigners' english all the time, and they almost always appreciate the help — because they want to be easily understood.

Also, I'm sure it was a mistake, but you said I agreed with morojax, which I didn't.

Cool. Well if that makes you feel better then go for it. I'm not in the mood to debate something like this all day

Word.
