Trump
[edit]Trump: "because he is doing or saying eye-opening things." I am not a native English speaker, but I'd rather say "because he is doing or saying wikt:jaw-dropping things." Staszek Lem (talk) 20:12, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
- As a native English speaker, I concur. --MattMauler (talk) 14:25, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
- As a native English speaker I might have said eye-popping. Even though it would be technically malapropos for something that is not primarily visual, it would reflect my gut-wrenching feeling that I can't believe what I am seeing. I agree that jaw-dropping is more straightforward. ~ Ningauble (talk) 16:22, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
- Trump didn't just defend his comments about Alicia Machado after the debate, he attacked her all over again in derogatory terms. She's made a video in which she speaks out to condemn his comments and humiliation of her when she was Miss Universe and since then. She proudly says, "I am a citizen now and speaking out. I'm voting in this campaign - join me in voting for Hillary Clinton."Parkwells (talk) 14:15, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
Amanda Knox
[edit]The important point of the story is that Knox's extended study abroad, though expensive, likely helped her to become fluent in Italian. Although The Signpost dislikes portrayal of her as a femme fatale "Foxy Knoxy" might be the femme fatale the readers need, not the one they deserve. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:34, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
