  The link you offered does not seem authoritative.

  I think a PHD in comparative literature is more than authoritative enough.

  The quote was from a series of entries entitled “Common Errors in English Usage”

  “Sometimes I don’t always feel like jogging” doesn’t make any sense.

  Makes perfect sense.

  I’m sure it makes sense to you, there are many people that make that mistake.

  Here’s another link. I’m still waiting for any link that shows sometimes can mean always.

  beedictionary.com/…/sometimes_not_always_vs_somet…

  Expressions like “not always,” “don’t always,” and “aren’t always” overlap in meaning with “sometimes,” but don’t belong in the same phrase with this word—they’re redundant. “Sometimes I don’t always feel like jogging” doesn’t make any sense. Say either “sometimes I don’t feel like jogging” or “I don’t always feel like jogging.”

    I'm happy for you ...or sorry that happened.

    That's alot of words which notably are not an example of the adjective "illegal" being used as though it were a noun to describe a human being and it not being derogatory.

    Come on, bill Clinton. You just gonna yap about what "is" is or you gonna prove your point? Make with the example.

      Don’t get upset, lots of people have issues understanding how sometimes is used. I have a lot of trouble understanding the nuances of a 2nd language.

      Looks like you’ve ran out of excuses, and moved to name calling. I’ve provided definitions of illegal and sometimes. Showing that illegal can be used as a noun and sometimes that the use of illegal as a noun is not derogatory.

        Are you still on this? You went in circles so I left.

        Still no example, huh?
