    I have never once heard anyone ever refer to an SUV as a ‘Large Engine Vehicle’. Am I just unaware, or is this trump being a complete idiot again?

      He didn’t actually say this, someone with access to his TS/Twitter account did. They don’t know wtf SUV stands for and probably made it up.

        So they also have to imitate his illiterate misuse of title case for Important Words, random quotation marks for “emphasis”, and littering of SHOUTY WORDS, not to mention his bizarre self-aggrandized tone and his ridiculous ways of ending messages that he thinks makes them look more important? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

            Debatable who’s using Titlecase improperly, the Ones actually using it to convey Meaning and structure a Sentence, or the Ones afraid of Capitalisation and Compoundwords slightly longer than Banana. #Mikrofonfallenlassgeräusch

      I’d say it is an obvious way to try to confuse BEV with LEV… To sell more ICE-cars…
