Wow. What can you say? Sure modster will think of something pithy. Three, two, one…
It's errors like that that will get you kicked right out of the Boulder State.
Funny you should say that — we were thinking about trying to figure out the over/under on "Boulder State" mentions at the CU debate.
C'mon you guys. Look on the bright side- that's a picture of an actual Colorado Rocky Mountain.
The GOP is apparently scraping the bottom of the barrel for staffers and interns these days. The GOP state party newsletter also often has glaring errors in grammar and spelling. On this "A vote for Hillary = 4 more years of Obama" missive, I counted five errors.
First, it's DemocratIC. C'mon, guys, it's just one more syllable. We manage to say "RepubliCAN" all the time.
Second, "Mile High State?" Denver has always been the Mile High City, most of Colorado is near a mile high. but Colorado as the Mile High State is a meme apparently coined by right wing sites such as Examiner.com, after the legalization of recreational marijuana, cause, you know, "high", yuk yuk. About 3/5 of Colorado is at 5000' elevation or higher, so you could call it the Mile High State – it's just not on any tourist or Chamber of Commerce materials I've ever seen.
Third, in the last sentence, first paragraph, "if" should be "whether".
Fourth, "The fact is" (which is not a fact but an opinion) should be written "The fact is that"….
Last, "Coloradans" is plural, and does not need an apostrophe. I hate those unnecessary apostrophes.
As political propaganda, it would convince the already-convinced….and it would make them all a little dumber just by virtue of reading it.
Other state GOP screeds have the same level of professionalism…doesn't anyone proofread anymore?
All home schooled, perhaps?
Where did so many people get the idea that an apostrophe is necessary for a plural?
Foothills needs no quotation marks.
On the contrary, this is the perfect mailer for the Gardner demographic of know-nothings and couldn't-care-lesses!!!
Lisa Pinto has landed!
