The Israeli military has literal nuclear bombs

If there’s any country that’s being promoted to stop resisting, that’s Palestine.

"Literal nuclear bombs?" Not "figurative nuclear bombs"?

Ever heard of emphasis?

Ever heard of proper English?

  @9CJ6CB6 from Virginia commented…1mo1MO

That very sentence was an example of improper English. “Ever heard of” deletes the phrase “have you” entirely, making it, in its own essence, a slang-style contraction, which is not “proper English”. That’s why I don’t care nearly as much about what is “proper English” as much as what makes sense, or what works well in a technical setting.

Do you know why I said it? I said it because you said "ever heard of emphasis" so to be sarcastic I almost copied you, just replacing emphasis with "proper English."
