Here's another word that falls into the same category as "refuse" from yesterday.
If you go to the supermarket, you will find all kinds of fruits and vegetables in the PRO-duce aisle. Speaking of supermarkets, is it just me, or do you find that they seem to be twice as cold as they used to be? Why is that? I can understand frozen foods having to be frozen and dairy and produce need some level of coldness, but does it have to be the entire store? I smell a conspiracy.
Back to the matter at hand. To pro-DUCE something means "to make it." So I guess it goes without saying that farmers produce the produce. . .or does Mother Nature actually produce it and the farmer is just her vehicle?
By the way, if it goes without saying, why did I just feel compelled to write it?
About Me
- Random Musings
- Obviously, the picture is not of me. It's our pride and joy, Daisy. She's a lot better looking than I am, so I figured you'd want to look at her instead. I'll write the posts, however. She can't. She doesn't have opposable thumbs. Currently, I teach high school English, and, since I'm trying to improve the use of language in 16-year-olds, I thought I'd branch out and give some pointers to adults, too. Hope you're not offended. It's just my way of improving the world -- one day at a time. Oh, by the way, I'm always available for freelance writing/editing jobs -- and I'm pretty inexpensive, so. . .
