20 Embarrassing Phrases Even Smart People Misuse

Posted On:

Source: inc.com

Even reputable websites have been caught screwing up these idioms, which spell check often doesn't find.

When you hear someone using grammar incorrectly do you make an assumption about his or her intelligence or education? There's no doubt that words are powerful things that can leave a lasting impression on those with whom you interact. In fact, using an idiom incorrectly or screwing up your grammar is akin to walking into a meeting with messy hair. That's according to Byron Reese, CEO of the venture-backed internet startup Knowingly. The company recently launched Correctica, a tool that scans websites looking for errors that spell checkers miss. And the business world is no exception. "When I look for these errors on LinkedIn profiles, they're all over the place--tens of thousands," he says.

The Muslims of Early America: Islam As American as the Rodeo

Posted On:

By PETER MANSEAUFEB

IT was not the imam’s first time at the rodeo.

Scheduled to deliver an invocation at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo last week, Moujahed Bakhach of the local Islamic Association of Tarrant County canceled his appearance because of the backlash brought on by a prayer he had offered a few days before. The imam had been asked to confer a blessing on horses, riders and members of the military. He was met with gasps from the audience and social media complaints: “Outraged at a Muslim prayer at an all American event!” “Cowboys don’t want it!”

Spare Parts Overcharges: That's Why DoD's Budget is So High

Posted On:

More than 30 years after the $7,600 coffee pot and the $436 hammer, weapon spare parts overcharges remain the clearest example of how the Department of Defense (DoD) wastes billions in taxpayer dollars. Numerous audits by the DoD Inspector General (IG) have unearthed Boeing overcharging up to 177,000 percent for spare parts, Sikorsky charging $2,393 for a $181 Black Hawk part, Hamilton Sundstrand increasing part prices by as much as 900 percent, and other examples of outrageous overcharges. But understanding the scope of the problem becomes harder when the Pentagon’s independent watchdog redacts the true scale of the overcharges, and preventing it is impossible as long as the DoD is forced to use an ill-defined definition of commercial items.

Iraqi Kurds Confine Thousands of Arabs in ‘security Zones’

26 Feb 2015 – MIDDLE EAST EYE- Iraqi Kurdish forces have confined thousands of Arabs in “security zones” in areas of northern Iraq that they have captured since August 2014 from the group Islamic State (IS), Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Thursday. Kurdish forces for months barred Arabs displaced by fighting from returning to their homes in portions of Ninewa and Erbil provinces, while permitting Kurds to return to those areas and even to move into homes of Arabs who fled, according to a new report by HRW.

Canada’s Zero-Tolerance for Criticizing Israel

Posted On:

In the name of Allah, the Merciful to all, the Compassionate

Yep! That’s what Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney told at the UN General Assembly on Thursday:

"Canada has taken a zero-tolerance approach to anti-Semitism and all forms of discrimination including rhetoric towards Israel, and attempts to delegitimize Israel such as the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement,"

When you read this, you may think another Hitler is rising in Canada, and anyone who criticizes Israel will be sent to a concentration camp, waiting in a line for Gas chamber.

But in reality only a fool with a big mouth can talk like this; the one who has no idea about social context of Canadian societies, no idea about who Semites are, and no idea why Israel is the first priority in every Canadian foreign policy issue.

Judeo-Christian culture: Whose Sick Joke?

Posted On:

In the name of Allah, the Merciful to all, the Compassionate

Yesterday, January 12th, Nigel Farage, Leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), Addressing European Parliament about what should be done in the aftermath of Charlie Hebdo attack, said the following:

I would suggest this though for the future we have to be a lot braver and a lot more courageous in standing up for our Judeo-Christian culture.

In the last article, I argued that Charlie Hebdo attack was a false flag operation, because it was designed to give the western populace a set of wrong values, wrong goals, and wrong enemies. The idea of Judeo-Christian culture and values, explains it all.

Believe me, Judeo-Christian Culture is a concept embraced by people who have no idea what Judaism is, what Christianity looks like, and what a culture is all about. This term is just non-sense.

Charlie Hebdo: What's Going On? What to Expect?

Posted On:

In the name of Allah, the Merciful to all, the Compassionate

In recent days I wrote a few articles about Charlie Hebdo attack and why it’s quite safe to conclude that it was a false flag. Moreover I brought some links from other sites, in the News List section. In this article I want to look at this incident from another point of view.

Charlie Hebdo attack was a Psy-Op, tragic enough to drive people crazy to stampede in streets, united under one flag and one slogan, defending values they hold most dear.

Wait a minute: The problem is they have no idea what those values are.
