That’s true but the same issue applies to both the article (which doesn’t use the term “statutory rape”), and the editor (who likely doesn’t have any legal expertise).

They’re not lawyers, though… they’re reporters.

They’re just reporting what the prosecutors accused the person of and if the prosecutor didn’t use the term “statutory rape” then the reporters probably shouldn’t either.

They don’t want to get the reporting wrong if they aren’t experts on the subject and even more so the don’t want to expose themselves to lawsuits if they do get the reporting wrong.

I really don’t think the reporters are trying to minimize the heinousness of the crime (at least not in this case). It looks more like they are just being conservative in what they state.

… although, I guess any pronunciation will be wrong because the actual name was “Πτολεμαίος”, so if you wanted a correct transliteration you would have to use “Ptolemaious”

Regardless, Joey is still closer to the correct pronunciation.

I think Joey would be much closer to the right pronunciation in this case.

I’m pretty sure ancient Greek didn’t have any concept of a “Silent Pi”. That leading “p” sound is supposed to be said.

It might be really hard for a native English speaker to say those two consonants together, but that doesn’t mean Joey is wrong for trying.

The smallest reptile that we know about.

Also note that subsequent cooking doesn’t prevent food poisoning.

That will kill off the microorganisms that are the root cause, but it won’t remove the poison that they already produced.

It wasn’t being marketed and sold as a meme product. It was being marketed and sold as critical safety equipment.

On top of that, it was being sold during a pandemic when such equipment was being used continuously by large segments of the population.

It shouldn’t be surprising that large numbers of people bought it; the company selling it lied to those people to trick them into buying it.

To be clear; the items in my list are my rebuttals to the now-deleted comment I was replying to.

I.E. those are the things I was asserting as being true, not the things I was disputing.

It’s hard to tell where to start with all the things wrong with what you’ve said:

1. Palestinians include people of multiple religions.
2. Muslims do not believe they are God’s “chosen ones”
3. Neither does Islam have any concept of birthrights based on religion.
4. Palestinian claims to Jerusalem (and Palestine in general) aren’t based on religion but rather the fact that it actually is their land.

It’s sounds like you’ve been taken in by Israeli propaganda that tries to misrepresent the root causes.

The real root cause is colonialism. It’s not about religion at all except as an excuse to colonize the region.

He’s delusional if he thinks the west has any credibility left.
