English, like I have said before, is a rather funny language. (check my article on itemmMom http://itemmom.com/index.php/english-funny-language/ ).
Same words have more than one meaning. Example – Brook (v) – to tolerate while Brook (N) is a stream.
Spellings that are spelt similar have different pronunciations. Example – To [tuh] and Go [goh]
Existence of silent letters in a word – Example – Pneumonia [nyoo -moh-nee-uh] with a silent P
Then there is this thing called Onomatopoeia, wherein there is no separate or hidden meaning associated with these words, but it resembles the noise it describes. Example – Drizzle, Kapow, Splash, Buzz etc
So proceeding on similar lines we are going to discuss some oxymoron today. These words are so superfluous together and have opposite meanings; yet when they get together it makes all the sense in the world.
- Good Grief
- Sad Demise
- Return Back
- Seriously Funny
- Deafening silence
- Exact Estimate
- Fine Mess
- Clearly confused
- Original copy
- Happily Married
PS: This is no English lesson happening for anyone… I am just in awe of the language and am sharing these just for fun sake…
Hello ,
I saw your tweets and thought I will check your website. Have to say it looks very good!
I’m also interested in this topic and have recently started my journey as young entrepreneur.
I’m also looking for the ways on how to promote my website. I have tried AdSense and Facebok Ads, however it is getting very expensive.
Can you recommend something what works best for you?
Would appreciate, if you can have a quick look at my website and give me an advice what I should improve: http://janzac.com/
(Recently I have added a new page about FutureNet and the way how users can make money on this social networking portal.)
I have subscribed to your newsletter. 🙂
Hope to hear from you soon.
P.S.
Maybe I will add link to your website on my website and you will add link to my website on your website? It will improve SEO of our websites, right? What do you think?
Regards
Jan Zac
