Actually the comment was "i hope you fucking bring in hell you fucking prick". That is a pretty significant difference.
- darklajid 13y agoEnglish as a second language. The former makes sense, i.e. I can parse that. The latter causes me to stutter and look confused when I read that. Explain? Difference and meaning of the latter version? I ignore the whole 'went to jail for a random FB comment' crap. That's just sad but not surprising any more.
- pgsandstrom 13y ago"i hope you fucking bring in hell" is meant as "I hope you give them hell".
- vacri 13y ago"I hope you give them hell you fucking prick"? I don't think so. It's just a garden-variety wrong-word typo. I often make them, as do plenty of others.
- rosser 13y agoYou have no definitive proof of that, and I think your assertion is as laughably specious as the prosecution's in this case.
- adventured 13y agoAnd I think that's exactly the point being made.
- legohead 13y ago"bring in hell" could mean they are supporting him in his endeavor, ie. give(bring) them hell! but the "fucking prick" part kind of negates that idea.
- thaumasiotes 13y agoNative US English. "I hope you burn in hell" is normal. The comment as written, "I hope you bring in hell you fucking prick", is nonsense. If someone asked me what it meant, I'd be confused, but I wouldn't assume that "bring" was a typo for "burn".
- DanBC 13y agoI'd assume it was an autocorrect error.

- ars 13y agoI'm reasonably sure that bring is a typo for burn. I mean yes, the way it was written is a valid sentence, but it's an odd one. Assuming a typo makes much more sense, especially with the concluding insult.
