Dr. Bandy X Lee published an entire book about Donald Trump's mental disorders.

I have a mental #disorder, Autism Spectrum DISORDER. I relate to many of the #UnusualLanguage issues that Donald Trump has. His unusual #writing on Truth Social media systems, his #speech / oral / #WordChoice mental issues.

An evergreen diction note:

PALATE is the noun meaning one's taste literally or figuratively, or the roof of the mouth (hard palate, soft palate).

PALLET is the noun meaning a thin pad for sleeping (a pallet of straw) or a platform of wood used in warehouses (a stack of pallets).

PALETTE is the noun meaning a grouping of colors (the dining room palette of dove gray, lavender, and sage green) or the board on which a painter places colors to use in a given piece.

Found in our local economic development newsletter about the city hospital's announcement of its emergency room expansion:

"The expanded ER is expected to welcome its first patients by November 2026..."

...I doubt anyone having to go into an ER is going to care much about the welcome.
