Adjective problems

A rather irate reader called to share her opinion of us after the heading “Democrat results” appeared above a list of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama’s percentages in Tuesday’s primaries.

While Democrat and Democratic both function as adjectives, in some quarters the former is considered an insult.

In the case at hand, dropping “ic” was an oversight, not an uberslight. It wasn’t a dig at Democrats and I’m sorry if anyone was offended by the mistake.
