And the dog will "Bow"-wow at "Bo" Diddley.
Wouldn't you love to get a dollar for every word like that in the English language - I would.To me it's like the word "wind"
Do we "wind the clock" or "the is wind blowing".
With out the words clock and blowing, one doesn't know what meaning to ascrbe to "wind".
Some might say it would only take a lot of money if you cover "each AND every" word. On the other hand "each" is one of the two synonyms for "every" the other being "all". So substituting each for every does not really change the meaning of the sentence.Wouldn't you love to get a dollar for every word like that in the English language - I would.To me it's like the word "wind"

Well, Smitty, on my pitiful budget, I could give you a dollar for EVERY word...as that would be $1.
But, if you asked for $1 for EACH of those words.... It would take a very rich person to fulfill that wish.
This is a "strange" language we speak and seldom understand fully.
Tongue in cheek. Happy Holidays.

FWIW: don't EVER tell your English neighbors that you are considering new carpet and you want their opinion on a "shag"! DAMHIKT

To some degree it can, but most of the time I think they are only useful to indicate humor.FWIW
In college there is a separate writing class after ENG 101, 102, and 103 that is called Tech Report Writing. Describing a technical "thing" is a lot different than writing a story.
There is a "game" they play to highlight the difference. Have a person with some sort of a drawing surface, blackboard, white board, pad of paper so they can draw. Give another person a picture unseen by the first and have them describe the picture without naming a particular shape, Can't say square, circle, rectangle, etc. When the results of the directions are seen it can get real humorous. The picture was so simple, until you tried to describe it. To each, words mean what WE want them to mean. Not what others "think" they mean.
Tone in voice can somewhat be added to a forum input with the emotions icons. :bye:
