I confess to being a grammar Nazi.
The loose for lose thing drives me nuts. The misused homonyms too.
My son wrote a 130,000 word novel and almost every homonym he used was
wrong. I am very glad he has a copy editor.

Practically no? They are not destroying assets of their allies, they are

We had a big discussion about this already
Marriage and Civil Unions are different.
Marriage implies a legal contract not only between the partners coupling,
but the state and the Federal Government. This involves areas such as Taxes
(being able to file as a couple), health benefits, survivor benefits and a
myriad of others.
Civil Unions

union of a homosexual couple have a different name than that of a
heterosexual couple?
