Hi Hank, Coming from a mechanical background I always thought, in that song, that they were talking about a pulley or block and tackle setup? Is the English language messed up or what? CDBJ |

CDBJ: __"Is the English language messed up or what?"__ ...... Apparently Churchill thought so. Once someone criticized Sir Winston for ending his sentences with a preposition, telling him that he was breaking the rules of grammar. Churchill replied, "Grammar is something up with which I cannot put." ..... We Forum users aren't the only ones who struggle to write clear prose. Former Vice-President Dan Quayle is a master of murky diction. Some examples: "If we do not succeed, then we run the risk of failure." ....... "One word sums up the responsibility of any vice president, and that one word is 'to be prepared.'" ....... It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurites in our air and water." ...... Upon returning from a trip to Latin America, Quayle observed, "The one regret I have is that I didn't study Latin in school so I would have been able to converse with them better." ...... People remark how strange it is that in the KJV suffer means allow and conversation means citizenship. But we haven't advanced much today when we put down our boss and put up with him at the same time. We greet our friends by asking them how do they do, and I wonder why they don't respond, "How do I do what?" ..... We get up in the air, down in the dumps, under the weather and over the hill. Rarely do I get the first three, but this silly post is evidence enough that I'm over the hill :-) --Hank | ||||||
