#gagamaggot Every time I see someone blowing off about “Marshall Law” (and yes, it is almost always inappropriately capitalized) I just *smh* at such stupidity. Irritating to think that someone could be a putative adult in today’s America and be illiterate. (Yes, illiterate. Someone can string together a bunch of text w/o being really literate. OK, maybe just subliterate, but the sheer lack of comprehension of basic English that leads someone to type “Marshall Law” in place of “martial law” really does indicate a serious lack of literacy. And it’s not all the fault of schools. Monumental laziness is required to achieve that level of subliteracy.)
"In a democracy (‘rule by mob’), those who refuse to learn from history will be the majority and will dictate that everyone else suffer for their ignorance."
I can only think of one excuse for writing “Marshall Law” instead of martial law. If you were writing about a man named Marshall who was a member of the Law family I could excuse it.
Indeed, Perri. People who are too intellectually lazy to bother becoming literate and who then foist their subliteracy off on others just irk me a wee tad. *sigh*
When whether or not somebody does or does not capitalize marshal law becomes an issue important enough for me to dedicate more than the time I’m taking on this response, all will be right with the world and life will indeed be good.
What. A. Moron. It’s “martial law,” you lazy sublierate. If the “sarge” part of your handle were genuine, you’d know that.
Hey asshole, just spent the whole night awake with a sick kid, so keep your spelling-Nazi propensities to yourself. Fact is you do a rather nice job of making my initial point.
By the way egghead, perhaps you can enlighten us all as to the definition of “sublierate“.
What a fucking fool.
I DGARA about your personal circumstances. And “spelling-Nazi” is inappropriate in many ways, not the least that using “Marshall” improperly to mean “martial” is not a _spelling_ error* but a usage error as well as an orthography error indicating a lack of literacy (and a fundamental intellectual laziness, as well).
And your current comment only adds another data point to an assessment of your subliteracy, laziness, and self-made stupidity. Good going, moron!
(BTW, your “sublierate” may be a typo, but it’s an amusing example of the fact that you apparently cannot even read what you write. Sub-sidebar: Mark Twain was the first, AFAIK, to use the term “subliterate,” but you would have no way of knowing that since, if you ever “read” Twain, I doubt you comprehended his words.)
Have a nice life, angry keyboard warrior. Or rather, have the life you so justly deserve, if you want. I’d not actively wish that life on you, but do what you will, mmmK?
*”That is, assuming that “Marshall” is a person’s name, because the office of marshal is normally spelled with one “l.”
It wasn’t a typographical error on sabasarge’s part. He actually referenced a typographical error in your comment. Even so, the notion of someone telling the owner of a website to “keep your . . . propensities to yourself” strikes me as the penultimate in hubris and intolerance.
After all, he came here to read what you have to say. He’d have done better to say nothing than to attack you for your opinion and plead exhaustion because he was caring for a sick kid.. Clearly he wasn’t too tired to spew subliterate animosity in the first place.

Of course the ultimate example of hubris, disrespect, and intolerance is one that I suspect is ongoing considering the foul language spewing from his keyboard.
TY, Perri. For some reason this time I missed that typo. I’ll leave it uncorrected as a reminder to me of my own blind spots.

Edit: as to “sabasarge’s” language choices, well, “he” (?) is apparently the self-inflicted victim of a severely restricted vocabulary. I am frankly more concerned with
a. the fact that “he” (?) seems constitutionally averse to any effort to think and improve “himself” (?) and
b. is likely to inflict that poor life choice on the child referred to in one comment. . .
. . . thus perpetuating both a lack of literacy and self-induced stupidity in yet another generation.
