Adam Schiff: "It's not spy-gate, only lie-gate"

[calimary]

32. One way to make it "a thing" and set it apart: the way it looks on paper.

When it's written out, visually, as opposed to spoken, it can be written in a way as to distinguish it. That's why I often capitalize words. It's for emphasis. Physical emphasis. Even if you're just skimming the thread and aren't actively reading each post, you can't help but notice a capitalized word or phrase. It kinda sticks out from the rest of the text.

I'd suggest LIE-gate, or LIEgate without the hyphen. Drawing added attention to the money syllable by capitalizing it (the LIE part) is driving the point home. REALLY "telling it like it is" and WHAT it is.

Bonus points for the visual aid making it obvious how you pronounce it!
