Fair words


Cowabunga!

If you find yourself at the OC Fair, there are signs with helpful advice for staving off dehydration, preventing sunburn, sore feet, and even finding your vehicle.

If you're composing a term paper, or maybe a sign to be posted in a public place to be seen by thousands of people, you may find helpful the advice that "alot" is not a word generally acceptable for non-colloquial usage.


And if perhaps you purchase a corn dog or other food item on which you wish to squirt ketchup or mustard, they also offer important warnings to alert you that the squirting dispensers may, in fact, squirt.

Maybe a lot.

  1. And I must note that it is probably not ideal to start a paragraph with a conjunction, such as I've done here.

    This is not a term paper.
