Last month, the administration said the U.S. will let up to 360,000 people per year enter the country from four countries. A lawsuit filed Tuesday claims the policy is illegal.
The definition does not indicate it can be not derogatory—which makes sense because it’s derogatory.
You despite claiming sans evidence that it is possible to refer to a human being with a pejorative adjective and it be anything other than derogatory, won’t even back up your claim with a single non-derogatory example of its use.
I get why you won’t—'cause you can’t—but if you were right you’d think You could give an example rather than litigating the implied corollaries to “sometimes”.
“Sometimes” is different than “Sometimes although not always”
That I why I had to use different words to type the two different concepts.
Your definition only listed the first, which does not inherently indicate the second.
“Sometimes” is different than “Sometimes although not always”
That’s a common mistake to think that but sometimes and not always have the same meaning. Your mistake is so common that there are many articles highlighting this redundancy.
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.”
The link you offered does not seem authoritative.
The example it proffered of:
“Sometimes I don’t always feel like jogging” doesn’t make any sense.
Makes perfect sense.
Are you going to keep litigating “Sometimes inherently means sometimes not” or are you going to provide an example of a non-pejorative use of referring to a human being as though they themself were illegal?

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.
I’m not the one making the claim here, you are.
You keep claiming illegal is always derogatory even though the definition states otherwise.

It does that what sometimes means. They would use the word always or possiblly omit it and state illegal is derogatory. They instead use sometimes.
If you can’t be honest about the definition of the word sometimes then why would you be honest about if the statement is derogatory.
Tell you what, if you can show when sometimes indicates something always happens I’ll give an example.
