    Maybe you "meant" something different, but I can only go by the words you put on screen. Saying something is an acronym by definition means that's how it originated. This isn't nitpicking, this is similar to what is going on with the "Ole Miss" phrase. Truth and facts are flexible because they're on what they think is the right side.

    I have been reading some Dawg forums. Apparently, there is a restraining order in Oxford against Mcelwain due to prior inappropriate relations with a shark.

    I can understand why you would say that, but it's not the only acceptable meaning of the word acronym.

    Yet I probably would have been more accurate to use the word "initials" to convey the meaning I intended, instead - which is basically a synonym for the word "acronym"

    Proper grammar and English usage debate on SBR on a Saturday night....a clear sign I need to sign-off now.

    Ole Miss is offensive. I like the new shark logo. A shark is a fearless animal.

    FACT CHECK: Etymology of 'News' - Snopes.comhttps://www.snopes.com › Fact Check › Language
    Claim: [COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]The word news is an acronym formed from the words north, east, west, and south.Fact check by Snopes.com: False


    news (n.)

    late 14c., "new things," plural of new (n.) "new thing," from new (adj.); after French nouvelles, used in Bible translations to render Medieval Latin nova (neuter plural) "news," literally "new things." Sometimes still regarded as plural, 17c.-19c. Meaning "tidings" is early 15c. Meaning "radio or television program presenting current events" is from 1923. Bad news "unpleasant person or situation" is from 1926. Expression no news, good news can be traced to 1640s. Expression news to me is from 1889. And, no, it's not an acronym.

    Yes. Why the land sharks? Why not the Air Rhinos or Sea Squirrels? The gulf gazelles or sky pandas? Dumb

    We both know that's the real reason. He may as well get used to it. It's a new country. "Those people" are losing power every day now. We are seeing the power transfer happening right in front of our very eyes.

    And I for one am perfectly fine with it.

    Looks like Ole Miss is hedging their bets. To me it seems completely ridiculous to keep the rebels name and go all deep blue sea with the mascot.

    Meantime 2 guys wanted to debate the proper use of certain words and phrases in this thread.

    Please, any such debate needs to be overseen by the resident expert of the English language....

    More bs from you

    No one wanted to debate the proper use of certain words

    You were wrong or at were at least mistaken twice while referring to the subject of this thread and the word "News"

    Here is when we were talking about the origin of "Ole Miss"

    Why would your first claim be taken seriously when your second claim about the same type of thing is completely false?

    Eventually they will get rid of the rebel name as well. This is one step towards doing that. Same thing happened in Illinois with the Chief. First they got rid of the Chief's performances, than they got rid of the mascot, than they took the logo away, now there going to add a new mascot that has nothing to do with Fighting Illini. They are gradually tearing things down so people are less likely to notice what's going on and will be more likely to accept the slight change.

    These liberal focks are targeting football because they know it is our passion. It will get them their much wanted recognition. It gives them a platform to reach all of the country. If they focked with the name of a soccer team in the U.S., it would get them no where. We should allow them to make a list of things they want to do away with, give them every statue, name, color, give em' everything that offends them. Then you think for one second they would stop there? It's the jews siding with the blacks to run this country in the ground!!! The blacks have caught on to how they are being used for by the very people that acted is though they were helping them. Now the blacks that want the free shyt- they are pissed to no end. Donnie Boy AIN'T having any of it. Plays it perfectly! Puts the embassy in first. Then when he starts in on them they can't pull the jew card. His daughter has one. Second term spells big trouble for the money hungry jews and they know it! Don't pay them any attention. Don't comment on the knelling. They need words to win. Look at them and smile. The ball is back in the white mans hand and it's killing them. Vote for Donnie Boy and let the good old boys take care of what is important to our families. Jobs with good wages and a country we are working to make better by manufacturing and developing goods. Live and laugh for a few more good years!

    NEWS is just the same as JEWS. The make it up, rehearse it and allow it to air. This is what I am talking about people. It is coming. Anyone with a brain can see what needs to be done. The news outlets are fockin this country up! Donnie won't allow it. Next term will be BIG changes. They know if he gets in again as lame duck he will start picking them off as they have tried to pick him off. Until we get these news stations under some form of accountability, we will always have this resist at all cost mentality. It is not hard to get blacks to resist. They have nothing. They are being told it is whiteys fault. It's the JEWS and they are NOT white for the record! So easy to see. Sounds very racist I know. Just take a real good look at what has been done for blacks by these so called caring people.
