What's the charge? Protesting a genocidal inciter? This is Democracy manifest. (aussie.zone)

Fuck! This has been on my mind all day, is it spelled protestors, or protesters?

Or is it a case of different for each case? Protesters (pro-testers) are treated like crash test dummies by the cops, while protestors (pro-testors) have a touch of the ecclesiastical, giving sermons from on high.

You made me do homework. Apparently 'or' is the newer American English version. So we should be using 'er' like the prim and proper loyal subjects of the British Empire that we are.

You're still awake!? I thought you'd have called it after the 'analogous' fiasco. :p

That's interesting, i'd've thought it would be the other round. 'er' seems more basic than 'or'. I guess the brits are the basic bitches this time. Oh how the turns have tabled.
