    Default Re: The Final US Election Thread

    Okay, this is really petty, but the theological/grammatical side of me is really pleased when a politician uses the correct formulation: "May God continue to bless the United States of America," as opposed to "God bless America." You're not pretending to know God's will, you're just saying that you hope God will look favorably on your nation.

    A minor quibble, but it drives me nuts when politicos get it wrong.

    -edit-

    Just to make it crystal clear: the inclusion of the word "may" is what sets the correct version apart from the idiot version.
