Err no. Of course I can’t see what your saying. If I could I wouldn’t have to listen to your irritating voice. Instead i’d be able to read what you are saying in peace.
Come on people make an effort. Think about what you’re saying. We are all guilty of spewing verbal vomit. But be warned: cognitive scientists suggest that the limits of our language are the limits of our knowledge. This means that if you can’t use the language we have effectively then you will never be able to improve your intelligence. Or, in other words, your intelligence is limited by your ability to use language. So stop littering your speech with non sensical verbal ticks it only makes you sound stupid.
A classic example of a pointless roadsign
This classic example of a pointless roadsign is from the US of A. Exactly what one is expected to do when confronted by this beauty is beyond me. Imagine pulling up to this smacked off your face on a bucket of starbucks coffee whilst your RV is stuffed full of screaming kids on their way to soccer practice. It’s roadsigns like these that makes it even easier to understand the actions of Michael Douglass in Falling Down.
I am simultaneously confused, bemused and angry at this effort. Well played USA.

The english language is riddled with fascinating expressions. Phrases that make no sense out of context and are a great source of intrigue, bemusement and merriment to those learning enlish. To the foreign ear these absurdities are exactly that – absurd.
Tiger Woods - Another Below Par Performance
It is remarkable how easy we find it to disengage with the meaning of the words that we say. Take ‘below par’ as an example. You will often hear people say, ‘I’m feeling a bit below par’ meaning sub-standard. Hang on a second?!!? Being a very amateur golfer I dream of the day that I can be ‘below par’. I slog my guts out in the hope of getting that bl**dy ball in the bl**dy hole below the recommended number of shots called ‘par’. Surely therefore being ‘below par’ is a brilliant thing?
