Jimmy Carter Dies

[timothyu]

The guy's dead. Why politicize it?

 

[Hans Blaster]

Okay so Carter wasn't the first, just one of the few. Thank you. I'm always happy to learn when I've been wrong.

More interesting trivia: Only three presidents (all Democrats) have used the diminutive form of their names. Harry Truman's name was Harrison. Jimmy Carter's name was James (obviously). William Clinton went by Bill. A former CF poster used to always refer to Trump as Donny as a way to insult him.

You've missed at least one -- the current President of the United States.

I'll stand by now and wait for someone to correct me.

I hope the wait wasn't too long.

 

[DaisyDay]

Oh. Can you show me where I said that? The thing you agree me with?

Ugh, I know, I hate that annoying trick where they say, "I'm glad you agree with me that [opposite of what you actually said]".

Abe Lincoln? Proper name was Abraham but the Republican went by "Abe".

Anyway, Texas governor committed a faux pas by sending Rosalyn Carter his condolences.

Carter was a good, decent man.

We’ve got one here who refuses to capitalize the surname of 46, as a way to show contempt(?), but that's neither here nor there.

Got me.

I hope the wait wasn't too long.

16 minutes? I commend your speediness.

There was no trick. I honestly thought he was saying he liked tradition, and didn't like when it was abandoned. Then he disagreed with me, so I think he's confused as to what he was trying to say.

Abe Lincoln? Proper name was Abraham but the Republican went by "Abe".

No, he was officially Abraham. People also called Dwight Eisenhower "Ike" but he was officially Dwight.

There's so much bad grammar on CF I wouldn't make too much of that.

Speaking of which, I’ve correct mine typo.

I didn't even catch thine typo. You shoulda just kept quiet about it.

Where do we get the info about the “official” name?
President Carter was always “James Earl Carter Jr.”

For one, presidents have official portraits. Their official name is at the bottom of the portrait.

Well, you seem to be correct, but only for the centenarian President.
