... ending Bill Clinton’s horrific law that separated parents and children at the border. Great job, President Trump.

Alright fifth graders. Please tell me the error of this statement.
Little Johnny fifth grader: Presidents don’t make laws.
That’s correct Johnny. Good job!
“Presidents” shouldn’t be capitalized and there needs to be a comma before “Johnny.”
How’d I do?
Isn't Presidents a proper noun? I think one could argue that. In this case it is specific to Presidents of the USA.
Not in this case.
One could argue anything. It doesn't make them right. Just look at all of the Republicans on this board for proof of that.
It doesn't matter. You could be clearly referencing President Obama and simply say "The president will be here around noon." It doesn't matter. Unless it is immediately preceding a name, it isn't capitalized.
While K.C. is helping you with grammar, perhaps you can get him to give you a lesson on the difference between debt and deficit.
Not very well.
It is the first word of a sentence. Yes, it should be capitalized.
Wrong. After a colon, the first word is not capitalized unless it is a proper noun. You’d have a fair argument if it happened to be a direct quote, but since you didn’t use quotes (and since it wasn’t your argument), that isn’t the case.
@countryroads89 would have been better suited to request a lesson regarding debt vs deficit than getting into a pissing contest with the resident english professor.

Yes, “Flannery O’Connor” is the person’s name, which is a proper noun, hence it’s capitalized.
In my last post, I clearly stated that proper nouns were one of two possible times that there would be a capital letter after the colon. Did you not understand that?
Somebody previously posted that you went to law school. Is that true? If so, where? Did you graduate?

I’m not sure if you are being serious with this attempt or if it’s your version of throwing in the towel.
But we can come back to this. First, lets finish up your attempt at claiming that the capitalization of “Flannery” somehow validates your argument even though I had just finished stating that proper nouns were to be capitalized after a colon.
Here is the exact example of my original post.
These dumb bastards incorrectly capitalized every word after every colon.
Game, set and match. Not wasting any more time on your nonsense. Bye bye.
ok boys, we all know cuntry is a moron and we all know rifle thinks he is smarter than everyone.
obviously, anyone coming to this board is killing time but watching a couple of libtards argue about spelling or grammar takes killing time to a new level. pathetic.

^^^ I really, really, really wanted to like this post, but due to the strong likelihood of being chastised, I have decided to opt against doing so.
If I used a first grader’s incorrect spelling to support my argument, it wouldn’t make me correct.
People are laughing at you because you’re claiming that a movie script is proof that your grammar is technically correct.
Why don’t you post any of the three respected grammar manuals’ comments on the subject?
And why are you avoiding the law school question?
yas, yas, and i'm laughing bigly, too.
"game, set and match. bye bye." lol, got damn, what a cum guzzling faggit.
