I have been an English Language writer and editor for the past 8 years. I have been writing and editing for a living all these years (I don’t mean to say that I am expert but I only intend to highlight my experience), yet…..I have to go a long way……………………….
This thought came into my mind when I received this mail from a friend. Probably some of you could help me with the answers and the logic to the following questions:
1.) Why are a wise man and wise guy opposites?
2.) Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?
3.) Why does no one say ‘It’s only a game’, when their team is winning?
4.) If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?
5.) Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
6.) Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?
7.) If 4 out of 5 people suffer from diarrhea, does that mean the other one enjoys it?
8.) If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren’t people from Holland called Holes?
9.) Why is it that people say they ‘slept like a baby’ when babies wake up every two hours?
10.) If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
11.) If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
12.) Why are you in a movie but on TV?
13.) If “I am” is the shortest sentence in the English language, could it be that “I do” is the longest sentence?
And just give this one a thought:
(I desperately need an answer for this.)
How important does a person have to be before he is considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
Consider this example: Daniel Pearl was assassinated and Jessica Lal was murdered.
Could someone explain me the difference???
