[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous] If you are being a jackass, you are acting like a jackass. Not you ARE a jackass. Context is everything.[/quote] Actually, it exactly means "ARE". I know that conservatives frequently reject science, but this is the first time I've learned that they sometimes reject grammar as well. The poster who wondered if conservatives read may have been on to something. [/quote] Context is everything. Without it, words are just words[/quote] The context here is your inability to understand simple English. Maybe this page will help you: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/to_be.htm The irony here is that "being" is the present participle of "be". The word "is" is a "to be" verb. Conservatives have spent years teasing Clinton about questioning the definition of "is". Now, you are doing exactly what Clinton did. You are being foolish. I don't mean that you are "acting" foolish. I mean that you are actually foolish. [/quote]
