As for the rest of the cult leaders...if somebody is dumb enough to follow that bs...that's on the individual...but in none of those cases did words kill somebody...Jones didn't give his followers a cup full words to off them...words can't kill...

Wrong again. YOU put the exclamation points in YOUR post, and I posted a screenshot of said post.
That's not hearsay, dummy.

Those are there for comical effect. Give it up idiot.

Did you even read the rule, one of them, that says it is less to do with the spelling than it does the pronunciation of the word. Is the word YOU a vowel sound Rob? If you are going to say no, just don't respond because phonetics have failed you and you will need to pull out your old "Hooked on Phonics" tapes.

The rule is based on the pronunciation, you fvcking dolt. "Y" is a consonant SOUND when it is the first letter of a word or syllable IN a word. EVERY time. No "exception to the rule" exists that would suggest you EVER say "AN" before "you" "you're" or ANY other word that starts with the letter y as a consonant SOUND.

You continue to make yourself look the fool with these pathetic attempts to prove yourself right.

"Mike bought AN yellow car"
"AN 'You Dummy' award was presented to Thxone"
"Steve is AN 'Yes man' at his job"
"Fred bough AN yak for the petting zoo"
"Alan set up AN Yahoo email address".

I'll ask you and EVERYONE here to tell me that all of these sentences sound correct, per your claims.
Go.

That's interesting. I guess Jim Jones had no culpability? Charlie Manson? Bonnie Nettles? Marshall Applewhite? David Koresh?

You really need to learn that your feelings are not facts no matter how much you WANT them to be, and no matter how often you repeat them.

You and I are in a store. I rob it and take their money. Because you were there too, you will be blamed and prosecuted even though you didn't rob the store.

So you are arguing the rules based on if the sentence "sounds" correct to you? Using your feelings Rob? Hypocrite.

None of these examples are "my claim". You are lost. Go do something else.

Show me where any of the court cases said words was the cause of death ffs...

This got brought up because Trump killed people with his words...there's been plenty of what about these people...or this happened...but not a single definitive piece of fact/proof that words were ever the official cause of death or murder weapon...words do not kill...

YOU are the one who had a hissy fit when I left "sound" off of the "consonant sound" phrase, even though no one says "consonant sound" and more since the "sound" part is understood.

Sorry, until you prove your "exception to the rule" claim, it's nothing but bullshit, and you are wrong yet again.
So save us all some time, and just post the "exception to the rule" that you claim exists.
The "exception to the rule" that says you would say or write "You win AN 'You Are A Dope' award".
If you can't do it, just shut the fvck up and drop the subject already.

Yep. You got it right, and all the legal experts and judges are wrong.
What is your legal specialty, and how long have you been practicing?

Wrong, and a red herring. Try to stay on track.
I could be prosecuted for conspiracy to commit the crime, even if I was 5 miles away when it happened and never set foot in the store.
Just words. Prosecuted and convicted. Amazing, huh?

Prove I need to prove anything.

Then yours is a red herring as well. The President making a statement is not the same as someone telling another person to kill someone.
