Sometimes I Wonder.????


Recommended Posts

Why is it that we drive on parkways, but park on driveways?

Why is it that when I need a cop, there is never any around, but if I go just 5 miles over the speed limit, they are on me like white on rice!

Why do people buy BOSE when there are clearly better options out there? (Umm, I found out why , never mind. Smile.gif )

Just a thought.

My two year old's favorite word is why.

All day long.

WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?

The biggest little list I could come up with...

Common two word oxymorons...

act naturally

Advanced BASIC

almost exactly

alone together

calm wind

clearly ambiguous

clearly confused

clearly misunderstood

constant variable

deafening silence

deliberately thoughtless

exact estimate

federal budget

found missing

genuine imitation

initial conclusion

instant classic

larger half

literal interpretation

Microsoft Works

military intelligence

modern history

most unique

only choice

original copies

paid volunteer

and then there's common phrases, like:

"Hi. I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you."

Im not going to say, I told you so.

"It isnt an optical illusion. It just looks like one."

"May I ask a question?"

This page intentionally left blank.

And, let's finish with the Rules of Writing by William Safire:

Do not put statements in the negative form.

And dont start sentences with a conjunction.

If you reread your work, you will find on rereading that a great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing.

Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do.

Unqualified superlatives are the worst of all.

If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.

Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky.

Never, ever use repetitive redundancies.

Also, avoid awkward or affected alliteration.

Last, but not least, avoid cliches like the plague.
