Lots of blogosperic chatter about the “vacuousness” of the Pledge to America. (One nation, indivisible, being bullshat again by the GOP.)
I don’t disagree, but I would like to point out that the word is “vacuity.”

Asal mula web Judi Poker Online Mengelokkan dipercaya di Dunia.
Dari segi buku Foster’ s Complete Hoyle, RF Foster menyelipkan “ Permainan situs pokerqq paling dipercaya dimainkan mula-mula di Amerika Serikat, lima kartu bikin masing masing pemain dari satu antaran kartu berisi 20 kartu”. Tetapi ada banyaknya ahli tarikh yg tidak setuju diantaranya David Parlett yg menguatkan jika permainan situs judi poker online paling dipercaya ini mirip seperti permainan kartu dari Persia yang dibawa oleh As-Nas. Kurang lebih sejahrawan menjelaskan nama produk ini diambil dari Poca Irlandi adalah Pron Pokah atau Pocket, tetapi masih menjadi abu-abu karena tidak dijumpai dengan pasti sapa yg menjelaskan permainan itu menjadi permainan poker.
Walau ada sisi per judian dalam semua tipe permainan ini, banyak pakar menjelaskan lebih jelas berkaitan gimana situs judi poker mampu menjadi game taruhan yang disenangi beberapa orang dalam Amerika Serikat. Itu berjalan bertepatan dengan munculnya betting di daerah sungai Mississippi dan daerah sekelilingnya pada tahun 1700 an serta 1800 an. Pada saat itu mungkin serius tampil terdapatnya keserupaan antara poker masa lalu dengan modern poker online tidak hanya pada trick berspekulasi tetapi sampai ke pikiran di tempat. Mungkin ini lah cikal akan munculnya permainan poker modern yg kalian ketahui sampai saat tersebut.
Riwayat awal timbulnya situs judi poker paling dipercaya Di dalam graha judi, salon sampai kapal-kapal yg siapkan arena betting yg ada didaerah setengah Mississippi, mereka terkadang bermain cukup hanya manfaatkan 1 dek yg beberapa 20 kartu (seperti permainan as-nas). Game itu terkadang dimainkan langsung tidak dengan diundi, langsung menang, punya putaran taruhan, dapat meningkatkan perhitungan taruhan seperi game as-nas.
Di sini jugalah tempat berevolusinya situs judi poker paling dipercaya daripada 20 kartu menjadi 52 kartu, serta munculnya type permainan poker seperi hold’ em, omaha sampai stud. Herannya orang melihat bila poker stud jadi poker pertama dan classic yang telah dimainkan lebih daripada 200 tahun.
Diakhir tahun 1800 an sajian Poker Online mulai disematkan lagi ketentuan baru diantaranya straight dan flush serta beberapa type tipe yang lain lain seperti tipe poker low ball, wild cards, community cards of one mode dan lainnya.
My dictionary includes both words. Riverside Webster's II New College Dictionary (Houghton Mifflin Co. 1995), p. 1217.
As I understand the usual usage, vacuity means a literal emptiness or absence ("a vacuity of new ideas"), while vacuousness is a more metaphorical emptiness and usually means stupidity or inanity ("the vacuousness of their ideas").
My Canadian Oxford Dictionary defines "vacuity" as absolute emptiness; a complete absence of ideas; an empty or vacant space; it defines "vacuousness" as the noun form of the adjective vacuous meaning unintelligent, lacking susbstance or content; meaningless;empty.
The Pledge is not a complete absence of ideas, they are ideas, just unintelligent, meaningless "war on arithmetic" kind of ideas. I'm sticking with vacuousness as the more accurate descriptor. Perhaps CNN can pick up the debate, and as there are always only 2 sides to any issue, you and I can appear: you to defend vacuity and I to argue for vacuousness.
Oh, come on. Remember, you can't spell vacuity without acuity.
Does its position in the blogospheric sentence mean it is a noun or adj?
Nonetheless, John Stewart's treatment of it last night was very, very funnyness.
Google Books confirms plenty of hits for both words in the 19th and 20th centuries. Always fewer for "vacuousness," but not so few that you could say it isn't a word. Seems like both are fine from the descriptive perspective. I would also be inclined to doubt (on descriptive grounds) any dictionary's claim that the two words have different connotations — can those really be observed in the words' usages?
The OED has “vacuousness” used in 1648 by W. Montague, whose Devout Essays included the passage “In that vacuousness the winds and vapors of tediousness and displicence rise.”
The winds and vapors seem pretty appropriate.
“Displicence” as a synonym for displeasure or dissatisfaction was documented by the OED as late as 1736.
Speaking of winds and vapors, this Administration (in contrast to the previous one) fails to appreciate jokes involving farts. Just one more failure of Team Obama to use all the tools at its disposal.
One wonders why Mr. 1648 Montagu didn't use 'vacuum'? Was it still a scientific term? Too Latinate? But surely 'vacuousness' is Latinate itself, along with 'vapor', and 'displicience'. Euphony with tediousness?
Or was he pushing 50 and just have a brain cramp?
vacuosity is preferred
Vacuosity: total mastery of one's vacuity.
You can't spell "vacuity" without "acuity," and there is no acuity in the Pledge to America.
In the spirit of Colbert, we should really call it vacuitiness.
