Phenomenal Two-Letter Word Im sure you will enjoy this. I never knew one word in the English language that could be a noun, verb, adjective, adverb, and preposition. Read it until the end... You will laugh. This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is UP. It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n], or [v]. Its easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak Up, and why are the officers UP for the election (if there is a tie, its a toss UP), and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends, brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, warm UP the leftovers, and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and fix UP the old car. At other times, the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special. And this UP is confusing: a drain must be opened UP because it is blocked UP. We open UP a store in the morning, but close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper use of UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost a quarter of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If youre UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you dont give UP, you may wind UP with (UP to) a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out, we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it soaks UP the earth. When it does no rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but Ill wrap it UP, for now... My time is UP! Oh, one more thing: what is the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night? U...P! (You pee!) Did that one crack you UP? Dont screw UP! Share this one on to everyone you look UP in your friends list... or not... Its UP to you. Now Ill shut UP! (Juliar Fadillah)
