You are barking at the wrong tree with this.
If there is anyone who knows the difference between [b]short and long consonant, it's me. I studied it. "After a short vowel...etc" And there are such pairs of ...[text shortened]... as a Mccarthian term sound same.
You simply don't have an issue here to build something upon.[/b]

Oh, for the love of...
Barking [b]up the wrong tree. Not at the tree.
It means a hunting dog is supposedly barking at a critter who climbed a tree to get away, but the confused dog is barking up the wrong tree... because the critter climbed up a different tree. But if he (or her) is actually barking at a tree then that pooch isn't just confused, he has some serious tree issues.[/b]
Because of a single preposition.
And you do it so patronizing.
How lame man must be to do this?
Explain them also--->

No big surprise there. But liberals barking at trees rather than something that may be up in the tree actually does make sense.
So no harm no foul.
( no harm no fowl? )

Do you think the words 'coma' and 'comma' sound the same?
"so it is fairly correct to say that Comey as last name and commie as a Mccarthian term sound same."
No, they don't.
Originally posted by lemon limeThis page, and, indeed, every "pronounce page" he linked to pronounces "Comey" correctly, with an "o" sound that sounds exactly like the "o" in "coma". So perhaps it is his hearing that has gone bad, and somehow he hears "Comey" as "commie".

This is your link.
The woman speaking this has a definite accent. Not the best representation of this word being pronounced.
The word "coma" does NOT sound like "comma". And similarly, "Comey" does NOT sound like "commie".
I'm guessing he just wanted to make a terrible joke, and it has just spiraled out of control for him. You'd think this would move him to come clean, but I guess not.

All the blunders you make without acknowledging the errors, and you're suggesting a standard of integrity for others?
You put your foot in your mouth so many times, Imelda Marcos would have gone bankrupt just trying to shod each one... and you remain stoically silent with each faux pas.
Originally posted by SuzianneThat's funny because he gave a speech to the top politicians here not a week ago and they were hanging on his every word.
All that aside, I'm concerned about John McCain. He sounded like a doddering old fool during his questioning of Comey, making ridiculous comparisons between the FBI's completed investigation of Clinton's email server and their current investigation of Russian involvement in the election. He even said 'Comey' instead of 'Trump', not once but at least twice. He sounded like he's losing it, frankly.
He was rhetoricizing quite well I thought.
Hope we don't put too much weight on his words then you say?
