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.
“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?

Here’s another link to help you understand the difference between sometimes and always.
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.
Don’t get upset, lots of people have issues understanding how sometimes is used. I have a lot of trouble understanding the nuances of a 2nd language.
Looks like you’ve ran out of excuses, and moved to name calling. I’ve provided definitions of illegal and sometimes. Showing that illegal can be used as a noun and sometimes that the use of illegal as a noun is not derogatory.
No I get it, you can’t prove your point. You don’t have to keep running around with dictionaries that don’t prove your point to impress me. It doesn’t change my view of you at all to know you’re wrong.

I think a PHD in comparative literature is more than authoritative enough.

I’m sure it makes sense to you, there are many people that make that mistake.
Here’s another link. I’m still waiting for any link that shows sometimes can mean always.

Are you still on this? You went in circles so I left.
Still no example, huh?
If you have trouble understanding what sometimes means then an example will go way over your head.
You’re welcome to show me where sometimes can mean always.
