Bubble: Of Democrats & Democratic
Bubblehead:
Yes, an individual is a Democrat. Used as an adjective, however, the correct form is “Democratic”.
It’s like “robot”; you don’t say “The robot moved in a robot manner”, it’s a “robotic” manner. Likewise, a Democrat belongs to the Democratic Party, and the Senate, having more Democrats than Republicans, has a Democratic majority. I know… English is a confusing language. If you get confused about if it’s the “Democrat Party” or “Democratic Party”, you can just refer to their
website
. It has several examples of the proper usage of “Democrat” and “Democratic” in the Official English Language.
Question: Anyone out there confuse these two terms?
