Haven't you heard of a Jackdoor, Sam? Or aJar? Or..... AlanE 01:22, 1 June 2015 (EDT)

I hope you're joking--I know that doors are very rarely jars, but a door can be ajar. But your erudition on many subjects (especially non-United States use of English) is so much greater than my own that I can't be sure. Just so you know, I actually googled the phrases "they walk with a rolling gait" and "they walk with a rolling gate". They both got hits! Far more "gait" than "gate", of course. Most of the "gate" hits were Conservapedia, but not all. Of course we all know that spelling (and grammar, and lucidity) is a lost art. SamHB 01:50, 1 June 2015 (EDT)

Show me the "gate" hits concerning Conservapedia from Google. Karajou 01:53, 1 June 2015 (EDT)

I did a quoted string search of "they walk with a rolling gate". I got, in part:

and then a bunch of non-CP things, from places like www.benzworld.org, www.allmanbrothersband.com, www.freerepublic.com, and so on. All very weird. SamHB 02:24, 1 June 2015 (EDT)

You said most of the "gate" hits came from Conservapedia; now you're saying that's not the case. You're doing nothing more than compounding your mockery of this site with outright lying, over essentially nothing worse than a minor spelling error. You will respect this website and the people in it, or you will leave. Karajou 02:35, 1 June 2015 (EDT)

Meanwhile, back at the ranch....Sam; you're too serious, mate. (Though not as serious as some) My "jackdoor" was a misspelling of the bird, 'jackdaw', as "gate" was a misspelling of "gait". (Only, mine was deliberate.) A jar is also a bird - usually known as a "nightjar" - and, as you thought, I joined the jar with its indefinite article so as to keep the door/gate reference.
