I was just expressing my disdain for the entire 'look what I just made!' culture. And yes, that does reference to the two year old running out of the bathroom, overjoyed at their accomplishment.

In fact, it almost never makes logical sense. Just because McCoy doesn't have anything to gain from our perspective doesn't mean he didn't have anything to gain from his. Hell, just because a crime was committed doesn't mean that the perpetrator had anything to gain at all. But assuming that the attacker required having something to gain, the simple answers: 1. McCoy gets what he views as his possessions back. 2. McCoy gets the power/control of the situation/her. 3. McCoy scares her out of going to court/out of the house. And most of all, since McCoy isn't personally carrying out the act, he thinks he can slip by since he technically has an alibi. I am not saying that McCoy is guilty. Obviously Cordon's statement makes it look pretty bad but that's also obviously just her side of the story and the major red flag in it (the attacker requesting the specific items that McCoy wanted) is strictly based on her word and nothing else. We should clearly sit back and see how things develop. My point is simply that crimes aren't always committed because the criminal has something to gain, and even if it doesn't seem like it to us, McCoy may have thought that he had something to gain anyways. I don't disagree. Motive is a big thing in crime. You make good points as to what his motives would be. She also has motive in terms of self preservation ($$$ and housing), and ex bf revenge. Honestly it's a very crazy situation with so many plausible outcomes. 1

Roundybout Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Ryan Leaf is experienced in breaking into houses. Maybe we should ask him a few questions? "Reformed" ex-NFLer? Sounds like the perfect cover to me.

I believe there was a witness to this ordeal. So, it’s not as simple as his word vs her word.

BringBackFergy Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Will the Buffalo Bills store take trade ins on Lesean McCoy jerseys? If Kim Pegula is as smart as I hear, she'll let people trade them in and give $25 store credit.

Yes, the OED is rightly the standard (and you did not actually cite the OED, btw; you'd need a quite expensive subscription to be able to do that), but Webster's New World College Dictionaries are fine dictionaries that do all of the things you say they don't. I am currently looking at the second edition of the Webster New World College Dictionary, and it provides etymological context etc. As I'm sure you know, Merriam-Webster is the corporate owner of the Webster name when it comes to dictionaries. As for Oxford, we publish all types of dictionaries, including American ones and ones that are meant for 4th graders. The Webster New World College Dictionary is the official dictionary of the NYT, WSJ, and AP. (God, I feel like Marshall McLuhan in "Annie Hall"!) You shouldn't feel like Marshall. He would have chewed your damn head off if you didn't use Oxford, any U of T English prof would have. Next your going to tell me that Oxford University press publishes plenty of style guides, which are not the Chicago Manual, and that those guides are fine, as well. Its your opinion, and you are entitled to it, but come on man, no writer or editor worth their salt uses Merriam or Chicago. Edited July 11, 2018 by MURPHD6
