Saline Real Estate and Homes for Sale

Lest you think that I'm all work, all the time - no fun and games for me - let's take a look at some funnies today.  (Original article written by Vance Shutes).

As a Realtor® and a writer, I use the English language a lot, every day.  Words have power to communicate (you know, a picture is worth a thousand words).  Words also can be twisted and garbled, sometimes with hilarious outcomes.  Here's a sample of some "interesting" use of words - enjoy!

Never use a big word when a diminutive one would suffice.

Use words correctly, irregardless of how others use them.

Understatement is always the absolute best way to put forth earth-shaking ideas.

Eliminate quotations.  As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "I hate quotations.  Tell me what you know."

If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times:  resist hyperbole; not one writer in a million can use it correctly.

Puns are for children, not groan readers.

Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.

Even IF a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.

Who needs rhetorical questions?

Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.

Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

I hope you've enjoyed these funnies today!
