Entitled does not fit that description, nor his argument.
He says Americans are Entitled, when the Word entitled is NOT synonymous with Responsible.
What he meant to say is responsible, but he'd heave felt like an idiot for saying that, because it isn't what he meant. The issue stems from his lack of understanding the business model, and misrepresenting the work done cheaper, as them not being entitled. When in all actuality, the work isn't done cheaper because they aren't entitled.
The work is being done cheaper because they aren't LIABLE.
1 point, Exoter.
Next argument please.

Again.. you can argue his point but I (and everyone else here) knew what he meant when he used the word "entitled." AND it wasn't we all said ... "oh he said xxx but we know he meant yyy." No, he meant to say exactly what the word means in common usage in this context... therefore it was NOT the incorrect word. His use of the word conveyed exactly how he feels on the issue, therefore you need to argue his points not his word choice.
