Stein's disqualification stems from a purported withdrawal letter from her running mate -- a letter Stein's campaign claims was unauthorized and had a forged signature.
The op said “in these posts.” Meaning with these posts. I stand by what I said. Posts and comments are different things.
If op meant in the thread or in the discussion or in the comments, then it’d be different. But they said “posts.” So I was correct in how I responded. Thank you! :)
This usage is an example of semantic extension—where a word is used in a non-literal sense that still retains some of its original meaning. Here, “in” is being used to mean “through the medium of” or “via,” which is a broader interpretation of “in” that overlaps with “with.” This flexibility is common in English, allowing prepositions to take on slightly altered meanings depending on context.
op said “posts” not “comments.” You are incorrect.
