I think first pp is tacky to make blanket statements.[/quote]

Like you just did. [/quote]

DP but no, that's not accurate.

Saying "names that end with a long -e are tacky" is a blanket statement because it labels all of the MANY names that end this way as tacky, and as several posters have said, there are names in that category they don't find tacky and that it seems a lot of people don't find tacky. Like I don't know anyone who finds the names Natalie, Marie, or Henry to be "tacky". So it's a blanket statement because it paints too broad a brush.

But saying it's tacky to make blanket statements isn't, itself, a blanket statement. It's specific.[/quote]

Maybe pp thinks that they are all tacky, that doesn’t make it a blanket statement as much as you want it to be. [/quote]
