I think most legal documents would be improved immeasurably by this kind of little linguistic landmark. When mortgage agreements and insurance paperwork get into double-digit page numbers, the occasional "Pay attention now!" would lighten things up considerably.Mama Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031670766962137707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25077391.post-90225342651189415962010-02-08T13:22:38.213-08:002010-02-08T13:22:38.213-08:00These "Nigerian Letters" are sometimes u...These "Nigerian Letters" are sometimes unintentionally amusing. My favorite was one from someone who admitted that he was a crook and said that the "money" that he wanted me to help him transfer was stolen. I had to give him points for frankness (but, sorry, no bank account numbers or other vital data from me). I also enjoy the assembly instructions enclosed in "some assembly required" items- (as long as I don't actually need the instructions to put it together). Those from China are usually the most wacky. Wouldn't you think with more than 1/4 of the world's population that they could find someone who speaks English to write these?C.
