You must have meant "His grammar and English are so terrible," am I right?

His Grammar and English is so terrible he must have dropped out of school to work on his material.

Points one and two: right on. Point three: not enough.

I love how they all shoot down the applause just as it starts. That'll learn 'em.

Still, David's objection to 'hold down the fort' is based on a literal interpretation of the verb 'to hold down.' All I was saying is that 'hold the fort' becomes equally silly when interpreted that way. I have nothing against the verb itself. We go back a long way, 'to hold' and I.

Furthermore, 'to hold down' also has many meanings, including...

hold down
a.to restrain; check: Hold down that noise!
b.to continue to hold and manage well: She held down that job for years.

Just because something is in the the dictionary doesn't mean it makes literal sense, as David was implying it should.

Fortunately, the verb to hold makes perfect sense. Unfortunately your knowledge of English appears to be limited. "To hold" has many meanings, one of them being " to retain forcibly, as against an adversary".
>> ^CircleMaker:
Unfortunately, the verb 'to hold' makes just as little sense as 'to hold down' in referring to keeping a fort stable in somebody's absence. If David has a problem with the notion of hover-forts, he ought to be troubled by the implications on the width of said fort which are manifest in any usage of 'to hold' taken literally.

I'll let my avatar speak for itself on this one:

I'm sure it's a nifty piece of equipment, but the demonstration in the video is awful. Every time the flipper hand touches something, the music immediately becomes worse.

You are killing the meme.

Genius, meta genius!

LOL win for the MS paint usage.

Am I the only one who found it strange that Maher said he "doesn't question [Cheney's] sincerity" and then says "he's a liar" in the same sentence?

The response by that theologian was more word salad than all the Hidden Valley Ranches of the world can dress... only to meekly concede Dennett's point at the last breath.
