All voting is confidential, you wouldn't ask someone on the street who they voted for during a presidential election or would you?

You have to know whether to punch them or not.

no but I don't approach people on the street

Sounds like that entire situation could be avoided if the person never bothered to ask the question of, "Who did you vote for?"

Anyone who approaches you on the street and asks you who you voted for probably isn't worth talking to anyway.

Are you saying Nazis shouldn't be punched?

In the same way you give technology and engineering advice, one would presume. re: Google

The Rules of Grammar

"I am almost sure by witness of my ear, but cannot be positive, for I know grammar by ear only, not by note, not by the rules. A generation ago I knew the rules---knew them by heart, word for word, though not their meanings---and I still know one of them: the one which says---but never mind, it will come back to me presently."

"Great books are weighed and measured by their style and matter, and not the trimmings and shadings of their grammar."

"The Queen's English"
"There is no such thing as the Queen's English. The property has gone into the hands of a joint stock company and we own the bulk of the shares."

"SPELLING"

"I don't see any use in having a uniform and arbitrary way of spelling words. We might as well make all clothes alike and cook all dishes alike. Sameness is tiresome; variety is pleasing. I have a correspondent whose letters are always a refreshment to me, there is such a breezy unfettered originality about his orthography. He always spells Kow with a large K. Now that is just as good as to spell it with a small one. It is better. It gives the imagination a broader field, a wider scope. It suggests to the mind a grand, vague, impressive new kind of a cow."

"I have had an aversion to good spelling for sixty years and more, merely for the reason that when I was a boy there was not a thing I could do creditably except spell according to the book. It was a poor and mean distinction and I early learned to disenjoy it. I suppose that this is because the ability to spell correctly is a talent, not an acquirement. There is some dignity about an acquirement, because it is a product of your own labor. It is wages earned, whereas to be able to do a thing merely by the grace of God and not by your own effort transfers the distinction to our heavenly home---where possibly it is a matter of pride and satisfaction but it leaves you naked and bankrupt."

"I never had any large respect for good spelling. That is my feeling yet. Before the spelling-book came with its arbitrary forms, men unconsciously revealed shades of their characters and also added enlightening shades of expression to what they wrote by their spelling, and so it is possible that the spelling-book has been a doubtful benevolence to us."

"...ours is a mongrel language which started with a child's vocabulary of three hundred words, and now consists of two hundred and twenty-five thousand; the whole lot, with the exception of the original and legitimate three hundred, borrowed, stolen, smouched from every unwatched language under the sun, the spelling of each individual word of the lot locating the source of the theft and preserving the memory of the revered crime."

But do you know much about sex?
