What-do-you-call-it, the Whats-its-name??

Pronouns have to be banned.

It is ever since pronouns made their appearance that Man stopped taking his daily dose of spinach and broccoli. They became the ideal excuse for his laziness. When he realised that he could refer to the Codiaeum Variegatum as "it" and George Bernard Shaw as "him", he happily allowed partial atrophy of his brain .

And look where it has led him..

I'm sure the worst blunders in history were caused by pronoun-abusers.

In 1912, when on board the Titanic, the ship's attendant may have given the following message to his captain:

"We have found a what's-it-called over here. It's very near our this thing. So unless we take a what-do-you-call-it, we are all in a big what-ever-it-is. We need that thing- the thing that those chaps use- and we need it now. Otherwise, we are all, I mean to say, in big what's it. If you get what I mean.."...... SPLAAASH......." WE ARE SIN....KI...N....."

So, as I said, pronouns have to be banned. Until steps are taken shortly in this direction,they should atleast carry a warning label :"Repeated usage is injurious to health"!

//and then Mary and John asked Steve if Steve would like Mary and John to paint Steve a picture. Steve said that Mary and John were very kind to offer to paint a picture for Steve but Steve was actually very good at painting and Steve thought that Steve could probably paint a better picture than Mary and John could. Mary and John were upset.//

Isn't this annoying too!!!!!

அளவுக்கு அதிகமான எல்லாமே எரிச்சலையும் வெறுப்பையும் தரும்.
