We all like to use big words and look cool, but we need to be sure we know what they mean or we can make some serious funny.
Take this doozy from Dan Drezner in the WAPO:
"Most political scientists are prodigious researchers"
Clearly Dan has no idea what at least one of the following three words mean, "most" "prodigious" or "researchers".
Let's help him out by making a more coherent and less inaccurate statement:
__________ political scientists are ___________ ______________ .
Give me your preferred styling in the comments.
By the way Polifacts has already rated Dan's statement as "Pants on Fire".
If I understood this post I might feel insulted.
