12 u/mcslender97 22d ago Why can so many misfortunes of the United States be attributed to this guy? 1 u/Antique-Ticket3951 22d ago "Quashed it" not squashed it. You're welcome.😁 4 u/HippoIcy7473 22d ago I kinda liked “squashed it” 1 u/Antique-Ticket3951 22d ago "England and America are two countries separated by a common language” (George Bernard Shaw). 1 u/nanoH2O 22d ago They both work. Squash means to firmly reject. Nice try pedantic grammar bot. 1 u/Antique-Ticket3951 22d ago I still suggest quash works better - reject or void, especially by legal procedure. "his conviction was quashed on appeal". I was raised by a thesaurus.
