I saw a tractor-trailer labeled Cheerwine. The phrase "a truckload of nasty" popped into my head. Really, I don't have anything other than that, except for a certain disbelief that enough people anywhere drink Cheerwine to merit a tractor-trailer load.
While we're kvetching about language, what's the deal with bridal veils and wedding dresses? Shouldn't the modifiers agree? Why not a bridal veil and gown, or a wedding veil and dress? Or, ya know, a wedding veil and bridal dress?
Meanwhile, my nephew and his wife are about to have a daughter, making me a great-uncle. She will be my grandniece. Again, shouldn't the modifiers agree? Why can't I be a grand-uncle instead? Wouldn't that be grand?
