It's like you saying, "I'm 20."

My response, "Your showcase says you are 19."

You, "Well, I am 19 but I will be 20 in a few days."

Me, " so you are saying that you are not 20..." Originally Posted by YummyMarie

I am not going to go down the road to explain that white-hispanic IS Caucasian, because that may tax some of the uneducated here, and over complicate the discussion.
Wakeup questions whores' veracity and mendacity all the time. Why use such a gray area to make a point about him?

Which it is.

So it makes his comments about, in your words, whores' veracity rather less than reliable.

No great news there.

He may have a MISunderstanding of the term Caucasian, but that is not the issue.

Geezzz... again....

You know I am right, just accept it.

I threw away my Latin grammar books many years ago, but surely a phrase such as:

he was a lying bastard

and

he was a mendacious bastard

are both using lying and mendacious in an adjectival context?

On the other hand

he was lying

and

he was mendacious

have a rather different meaning.

Substitute he/she for he for political correctness.
