Wordplay from AWAD

[Thadeus]

Did someone say WordPlay?

What do you expect when you mess around with a wordy pal? Wordplay, of course! And that's what you are going to get for the next five days. In this week's AWAD, we feature words about words, words that describe play with words.

emphasis mine.

What's an AWAD?

Comma sutra, the most fun you can have with punctuation.

Anu Garg provides this wonderful free service and does an outstanding job of it.

Additionally, I have never been contacted or troubled because I signed up.... I've been a subscriber for years.

My current favorite example of antanaklasis (particularly in these post 911 days of "Homeland Security") is: "Those who would give up a little liberty for security deserve neither." (Ben Franklin, I think)

It's not a perfect example, in that the repetition of the words are implied rather than being specifically stated, but I like it the better for that.

For you are crunchy, and good with mustard.
