Found on another website, the following signature:

I thank God that I'm an American. I support our country, president, and troups.

Does anyone knows what a troup is?

No, Punji, you get troupes. I've looked in the dictionary and I can't trace this troups...

Isn't it a group of Boy Scouts?

They meant to say trouts, which is still poor grammar, but still, it's good to see Americans banding together behind their fishes.

They might have meant tropes, in that it's not really a real war but a slaughter, so the correspondant supports all American conflicts which are mislabelled by the administration as 'war'...

I hope it was an attempt at irony that youve misspelled the word intelligent in the topic abstract!

Isn't it a kind of coughing-related illness? Or is that croup?
