I sent out an opinion which contained an error in English spelling. I said the following:
Yes,
I do know that a projectile is missile and that a missal is a religious
book. Apologies for the oversight. Why is this important to me?
Because language is important. The truth is I wrote the short paragraph
fast and spell check picked up the wrong word that sounds alike but is
the incorrect word meaning something completely different. I am not
fond of homonyms that make the English language one of the most
difficult to accurately learn. But I make no excuses except to say I
was tired and did not feel like going the extra mile to be scrupulously
sure of word errors. Mea culpa (Latin for my fault!) That will teach me! Yes,
I know this is unimportant when one measures it against the context of
what has happened in Ukraine which is a huge tragedy of immense
proportions.
Whatever the spelling it appears as of now the Malaysian plane was shot down by a Russian made technologically sophisticated missile and was shot down by Russian separatists.
Someone sent me another explanation by an expert in the field of Ukrainian politics, a Princeton professor, whom Amy Goodman had on her show, "Democracy Now." You can Google it or scroll way down. My thoughts now gleaned from the logic of Rachel's show are that the Princeton expert is, in my opinion, leaning wrong.
If one looks at the site of Rachel Maddow's show of July 18 she explained it yesterday better than anyone I have heard or read yet. She does it by deductive reasoning because we do not know for certain all the facts yet. The link to her show is pasted underneath these paragraphs. It is worth watching all of the show from the larger video. There are 4 windows at the bottom of the main video in which she addresses the various aspects of the issue.
Rachel is a window into truth in politics!
