This is bloody shocking. Not only dismantling and manipulating law institutions in the US, and Netanyahu trying the same in Israel, now this.

“It is not the ICC that Rubio is dismantling brick by brick – but the rules-based international order that grew out of the ashes of world war two.”

    Yes, I am aware. Without punctuation, however, a statement can become ambivalent. In recent years, punctuation has been disappearing perhaps due to social media and other fast online use. The way my generation writes is influenced by the way we were taught which was more formal. Commas were encouraged everywhere (but not Commies).

        What are you really angry about?

        You reckon I’m policing the language? That is your judgement. Are you persecuting me for using language in a particular way? Isn’t that what you were saying I do? Crikey, you were talking about a ‘literary device’. Wasn’t that a bit, I don’t know, patronising?

        I was making a bit of fun at the way we were taught.
