So, do you remember when the President of USA had that Apprentice show on TV?

To me that's wrong, the President didn't, but Donald Trump did.

There's no reason to hide that Trump hasn't always been president, and it's informative to know that he wasn't president at the time he was a TV character in a "game" (?) show.

If the name is inconsequential why does anyone care if you refer to the correct historical fact that "Bradley Manning (now called Chelsea) was reported ...".

They matter, just in different ways to different people. What's that quote - naming things and off-by-one errors??



All of your comments in this thread are a great example of why people make fun of HN commenters.


President is a job title, not a name.


You're right, I struggled for a good analogy.
