gretchen: you know what?ike to propose a third camp to the "literally" controversy which is if you look back at the history of the word "literally," it literally means containing the letters or referring to letters. so, you know, even the purists, so-called purists, who think that it should mean exactly what happened, aren't actually going back to the most literal meaning of "literally" which is by the letter. so there is no real linguistic purism. eventually, you know, etymology is fun but it's not the answer. scott: if you're just joining us, we're talking to an expert on language. how in this internet world has language changed in cultures in that everyone online seems to have adopted sort of the same, might be doing it in french, they might be doing it in russian, but they're still doing memes. you know, they're--everybody's adopted the same style of talking online on reddit, on twitter, that kind of thing, even if they're factually using a different spoken language. gretchen: well, it's interesting becau

i will refer back to what gretchen was saying. i think the fact that the manifestations and protest took so many days can only be understood as the floor move because people, for example, need to understand that for 120 years, we have been a u.s. colony. we need to talk about u.s. imperialism to understand what's behind this. we cannot hide behind the fact we're second class citizens. we need to ask why are we second class citizens. did we ask for u.s. citizenship? no. we got it and got second class citizenship, it was tailored to needs of the u.s. congress. so as a result, all of the violence that has come from that, the asymmetry of power basically helps to begin explaining the feelings that we're seeing represented in the population and in public. on top of that, why do we use culture as a way of expressing ourselves because one needs to consider that puerto ricans that oppose the united states have been jailed, have been repressed for many years. people took it and internalize after 1957 when the gag law, we had a gag law '47

we'll come back to gretchen. sorry. >> jack martin.my question basically ties into a couple of other questions that have been put to the panel, and that has to do with the fact that when you have an outpouring like this, it basically says that the people don't have any confidence in the judicial system as the solution to the problem. is that a correct assumption? this is from the point of view that we would expect if we had this type of problem with regard to corruption in a state in the united states, that it would be dealt with by the judicial system and people wouldn't have to turn out in massive protest. that also ties into this question, does this type of an outpouring of public antipathy to the ruling system indicate that there's going to be concern in the future with regard to the issue of statehood, both from the point of view of the u.s. and from the point of view of puerto rico? >> thank you. right next to you. thank you. >> my name is juan carlos and i'm from puerto rico and now living in d.c. i wanted to follow-up on what y

gretchen: which washington? startedthe whole thing 15 nights ago. people were giving space for events to develop and i still think to some extent they still are. it was very unnerving that president trump did not tweet for a long, long time when this was going on which led to the decision that something is going on and we do not know about it. he is so high it and that is unlike him. opposite side, the democratic side, people will were letting things develop, not wanting to jump into the fray and show themselves as people that intervene in the affairs of others. and then, a congressman jumped soul, andless his someone interviewed him. he spoke off-the-cuff. it was an automatic response. and he said -- i think he should resign. and people were appalled because this was viewed as interference in the internal affairs. tookafter that, events over and it became obvious. callther people joined the , some before, and some later. and because it became apparent -- it was not about this person being against the political party of this person or against this p
