Quote of the week
A possibly-admirable observation from The House of David:
The suffix “-able,” in English, points to an objective fact. Where there is no such fact, the suffix is bullshit. I usually see it in Progressive propaganda.
Who consumes and develops sustainable development? Who rates the price for which buyer to afford affordable housing? Who pushes for and pulls against inevitable change?
In practice: Sustainable development means Progressives cut off your water and power. Affordable housing means Progressives build in your precinct a slum for their voters. Inevitable social change means Progressives have … well, look around.
I have a word for those who use this suffix — despicable.
I wonder, though, if spelling the suffix with an I is permissible.

Speaking of which, Little Miss Attila is bothered by the existence of alternate spellings, or something.
