Myth Weaver
Okay, not so much as a forum game, but just a place to make notation on the world around.
What is a ponderism? Well, its sort of a question about the absurdity of the world. Questions we don't really expect answers to, but make us think, why would we do it like that?
What are some examples? Well, here are a few:
Why do we park on a driveway, and drive on a parkway?
Why is it called life insurance when it only pays out when we die?
If a deaf person goes to court, is it still called a hearing?
Those are ponderisms.
Have some, feel free to post them here:
Ill start:
Why do we have a double-U when actually it is two V's, and why is it the only word we have that actually has two U's side by side (Vacuum) does not use it?
Your turn...
