Edit: changed the title from the site to say “Doctor That …” instead of “Doctor Who …”
since when did Doctor Who get so Political? 😡
… “Doesn’t he look tired?”
I had to read the title multiple times before it became clear this has nothing to do with Doctor Who…
Edited the title to say “doctor that” instead now
I appreciate your attention to detail. Have an updoot.
While that is a confusion-clearing thing to do, my understanding is “who” is used in reference to people, and “that” refers to things. So, grammatically incorrect but semantically correct.
Grammar rules exist to make communication clearer. If they’re getting in the way of that, ignoring them is usually fine.
In this case, I think adding an article would also have cleared the garden path— that is, “The Doctor Who […]” — but yeah, the meaning is clear enough this way.
“Doctor, Who Said…”
Doctor Who wrote what?
Fuck me, it’s literally there first thing past the headline. Just read for 8 seconds.
Edit: Fuck, I’m stupid and didn’t read the capitalization on the ‘W’.

I can’t pass up the opportunity to point out that that list of words was not part of the cognitive assessment that he “aced.” He forgot that list. Person, man, woman, camera, and TV were just objects in his field of vision at the moment he was speaking in the interview.
I’ve been pointing out his dementia symptoms for years now. Why does it still feel so shitty to be proved right by time? :-/
I saw it happening to my mother. No one else did or they didn’t want to see it. Its part of the reason why I was cast out.
So sorry to hear. It happened to my father, too, but we all saw it.
It was more to it than just her mental decline that caused me to go no contact on that day. I was told I was the reason why my son was autistic and I didn’t discipline him enough. Also on that day they told my daughter she was going to hell for having a psychology degree. My mother regularly through the years referred to my daughter as a bastard because we were not married when she was conceived. Like I said the problem was larger than my mothers dementia but that is what triggered it. The oncoming dementia and her sudden inability to keep her lies straight is how I figured out she was abusing my son.
Tell him he doesn’t have the best dementia and he will prove he does.
Why’s it all caps anyway? The HP article writer could have done better I think.
Doctor Who Wrote ‘Goldwater Rule’ Says He Would Recommend Dementia Tests For Trump
Versus
Doctor who wrote ‘Goldwater Rule’ says he would recommend dementia tests for Trump
Or even
Doctor which wrote ‘Goldwater Rule’ says he would recommend dementia tests for Trump
Having ‘Who’ in caps is probably what triggered. Were used to seeing the show name / dr name capitalized.
Headlines usually are written in headline case which capitalize everything but article. It might’ve been good to deviate from the guidelines in this case
Yeah I hate that always.
I feel like the audience on lemmy is uniquely primed to see “Doctor Who” vs the general public. Also fuck Trump
