Things that keep me awake in wonder...

Why is abbreviation such a long word?
Why can't you make an anagram out of the word 'anagram'.

On a more serious note, honestly, there is a word that I refuse to accept in it's current guise, and that is the word 'wintry', used to describe weather that is pertinant to winter. Wher has the letter 'e' gone? IT SHOULD BE THERE!
There is no 'summry' or 'thundry' weather, bouncy things aren't described as 'rubbry', I don't own a 'feathry' duvet.
That's why, in Slime's world, wintry doesn't exist but wintery does.
Anyone else agree or am I the only pedantic bugger on the forum tonight?

If you've died of asbestosis, do they charge you more at the crematorium and would you get a discount if you'd died in a fire?

(Apologies if anyone is offended, no offence was meant in any way).

d'oh I had one the other day which had me puzzled - it was along the lines of who discovered you could get milk from cows, and what the heck did he think he was doing? - but now I can't remember it so I either worked it out or fell into a coma trying to get to the bottom of it!

Pure pedantery!

After discovering milk from cows how many other animals have they milked or tried to.

Bet they s*** themselves when the goat started giving them some.
 
If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?

Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard?

If man evolved from monkeys, and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?

When it rains, why don’t sheep shrink?

Why is the time of day, when traffic is the slowest, called “rush hour?”

If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes?

Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who drives a race car not called a racist?
