Have you swallowed the Oxford English Dictionary, Thesaurus, and any other text book on English grammar you could lay your hands on? Must have been hard to digest!!

Oxymoron was,you won't believe this, my favourite word in Scrabble.I was accused of being a moron myself for making it up but it's when incongruous or contradictory terms are combined.
A brilliant example is "a deafening silence".
DT are you reading this?

Not reading , don't understand . Thick as two planks. lalalalal

No snoopysue, not the OED, unless you call it Google. I know that NL wouldn't google as she's literate. Must be googling, as some of the words they use in the U.S. of A. The word "period" instead of a full stop! What's all that dash dash (hyphen hyphen) -- nonsense. Hand on heart, I can honestly say that I've never heard of hyphen hyphen in anything that I've written or read.
Don't want to talk Football Mally. How about cricket - no, forget that as well
