   Granny promoting ACT again about their 'expected' press conference to stand candidates in local electorates. What a scoop !

   looking forward for questions to Seymour about his wasteful school lunch program where 2nd degree burns are optional and now with air miles.

   Jim would approve.
   1. 2.1

      Well at least we will know who not to vote for
   2. 2.2

      I won’t mind a little vote-splitting on the right – expect some shady deals concocted over shoddy cups of tea.
      1. 2.2.1

         What makes a cup of tea 'shoddy'…?

         Is it the quality of the tea-bag..?..(Kenya bold vs. home brand..)
         ..or even the very use of a teabag..?

         ..or the quality of those consuming said 'shoddy' cups of tea..?

         (I am asking on behalf of the tea anti defamation league..)
         1. 2.2.1.1

            What makes a cup of tea 'shoddy'…?

            Tea made with anything other than freshly boiled water.
         2. 2.2.1.2

            What makes a cup of tea 'shoddy'…?

            I hope it is not the use of new wool added to the tea. Might be an idea for our sheep industry, rhough- tea bags made from wool fibre….

            I think in this case we just allow incognito to use a little alliterative rhyme, 'shady' and 'shoddy', rather well; or as a transferred epithet referring to the dealers.
            1. 2.2.1.2.1

               Isn’t language a wonderful thing! How long will it be before semantic AI makes inroads into this and without turning it into a dog’s breakfast?
               1. 2.2.1.2.1.1

                  I am coming down with metaphor-confusion..

                  How/why 'dogs breakfast'..?

                  What is ‘semantic AI’?

                  And what is ‘this’ ?
                  1. 2.2.1.2.1.1.1

                     For your eyes only, Phil.

                        So..you are using metaphors to help define your words/meaning…?

                        ..as an aid to define your particular use of inferentialism..?

                        (And I agree that language use by AI..is potentially a minefield of misunderstanding..)
