His husband!? Her wife!? What's going on?

My head is getting turned around these day by incorrect use of the English language.

It's my problem when the federal government is not running the country as a well-ordered society.

Maybe you should be addressing the fact that the federal government violated 96 court orders in less than ONE MONTH!!! It might be an even bigger deal than men having husbands.

... on Wednesday, Patrick Schiltz, the chief judge for the U.S. District Court of Minnesota, issued a remarkable order that cataloged a total of 96 court orders that he said ICE had violated in 74 different cases. “ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026,” the judge wrote, “than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

This is the appendix mentioned by Judge Schlitz with the list of court orders violated by ICE

The English language functions like the language of mathematics.

As someone who has spent years studying math beyond calculus, I can assure you that English does NOT function like math.

"I saw the man with the binoculars" (who had the binoculars?)
"The chicken is ready to eat" (is the chicken cooked or hungry?).
"I watched her duck"
"The peasants are revolting"
"Look at the dog with one eye"
"They are cooking apples"

I can assure you that math does NOT allow this level of ambiguity.
