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.
