Full stop?

Only happened in the last twenty years or so. It's deplorable. Edit: Seems I was wrong. But it's still an ugly use of the word 'invite' if used as a noun. http://grammarist.com/usage/invite/

A little over the top perhaps? I vote continue the thread and leave politics behind?

Racist! :dunce:

Gotten is old English. Nothing wrong with that!

Hmm. I agree the verse is saying that. But people often leave out 'all kinds' which assigns the love of money to being behind every evil when with 'all kinds' it means lots of different sorts, but crucially not every sort.

What about malapropisms?

This is true, but I am pretty sure the verse is not linking every evil to money specifically.

Aha! But is it, if my intention was not to belittle his point but to draw attention to another part?

Apologies, I wasn't trying to distract from your point, however the part 'all kinds' is often left out which changes the meaning totally. Didn't notice the dots! :dunce:

I notice that one the other way round as well. That one should be 'for the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil'. So interestingly, you have also quoted it incorrectly! [emoji12]

Incredibly stupid as well isn't it? Top draw instead of top drawer.
