"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
-- or not?
I for one wouldn't want YOU to be the engraver of the plaque as you can't even spell "tempest-tossed"!
No such word as "tempest-tost" but that's a characteristic of people like you.
Little details don't mean much to people like you apparently.
Clearly you've uncovered one of my significant personality flaws. I hang my head in shame.
But unlike you that seems unable to comprehend the difference between "tossed" and "toss" much less the differences between "legal" and "illegal" , with 150 million people wanting to migrate to the USA it is totally appropriate to ask these migrants to follow the laws of our land...i.e. become "Legal" immigrants.
But of course these little distinctions mean nothing to people who can't even spell!
This spelling issue is a big deal with you. Maybe there should be a law!
Of course it is a big issue dummy! It points out how little details seem to be ignored by idiots who pitch stupid ideas like you did.
Little details do matter and here for example is one "little detail" that affected millions!
Heh... well, I didn't bother correcting you in my first response, because you criticism was trivial and pointless. But as long as we're going with trivial and pointless, I'll indulge you and point out that you're wrong. That's how the poet chose to spell it. Look it up, moron.
YOU quoted the Plaque incorrectly DUMMY!
The exact words on the plaque are:
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless,
tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
What is the quote on the statue of liberty? · How Tall is the Statue of Liberty?
Why would you make the dumb-ass mistake of MISQUOTING the Plaque which is ON the Statue of Liberty?
We weren't talking about the poet... but you quoted the POET!
