Why do we say things the way we do?

Discussion in 'Random Thoughts' started by Candy Gal, Mar 13, 2020.

  1. I know a usually precedes e and o, but does e usually precede o?

    I'm sure we are all insane, but if people were saying "oranges and apples" we'd all be having sex with our siblings insane.

    Salt and peppers order is determined by the objective importance of each spice. Peppers awesome, but it's not a critical mineral for nerve transmission.

    Pepper is the pussycats and salt is the Josie.

    I am not keen on pepper.
    Now salt of the earth is a different matter.

    "I'm giving up drinking for a month." vs "I'm giving up. Drinking for a month."
