		<description>Ben Hyde says:
&quot;I think people who use the word niggardly just because its linguistic roots happen to be independent of the word nigger are obnoxious insensitive pedants.&quot;

Until I read your post I was both unaware of the existence of &quot;the word nigger&quot; and of his/her control over the linguistic roots of words. (S)he sounds like an extremely interesting person and I now seek out every opportunity to met him/her.

[P.S. Perhaps you meant &quot;...the word &#039;nigger&#039;...&quot;?]</description>

		<description>sir/madam,

it&#039;s not pedantic to correctly use words like &quot;it&#039;s&quot; (your usage), &quot;its&quot; (what you should have used), &quot;loose&quot; (your usage), or &quot;lose&quot; (what you should have used).  only the truly ignorant will wave their racist flag instead of engage in open debate.

you could say ignorance is the slippery slope of racism, if only you could see past the (supposed) racist term &quot;slope&quot;.

also, learn to correctly spell &quot;Governor&quot;, &quot;wherein&quot;, &amp; &quot;folklore&quot;.  after that, read The Complete Tales of Uncle Remus.  it&#039;s an easy page turner, even for you!</description>
