An Essay on Nutrition and Health: A Winning School Essay

 

[JulianStuart]

Yes.

 

[Hildy1]

Thank you for giving the source. That is certainly an unusual website.

Don't imitate anything that you see there.

 

[lingobingo]

I see what you mean! The writing is strangely stylish but includes some truly weird expressions, such as:

more and more dilemmas are uprising and creeping sluggishly​

murdered to death​

the abolition of existence​

​

 

[Hildy1]

I suspect that the stylish parts have been simply "borrowed" from other writers.

But there are some intriguing insights:
"One of the factors involved in the attainment of proper nutrition is eating."

 

[lingobingo]

I missed that one.

Thanks

Someone asked me about it, and I thought maybe the problem was my ignorance!

murdered to death

Good one.

 

[Sapere_Aude]

Good one.

It's the name of a book by Peter Gordan, too.

Is it that stupid?

 

[grassy]

It's funny. And it's supposed to be because according to Google the book is a comedy thriller.

Have you ever murdered someone to death or even to the vicinity of death?

 

[grassy]

I haven't and I'm not planning to. On a serious note, murdering someone already implies that the person dies, so adding "to death" makes it funny/strange.

 

[lingobingo]

Yes, murdered to death is much like saying that a baby has been born to llfe – pointlessly expressing the same idea twice.

A limerick from the Wikipedia page on tautology:

There once was a fellow from Perth​

Who was born on the day of his birth.​

He got married, they say​

On his wife's wedding day,​

And died when he quitted the earth.​

Is this a tautology?

Those who are not in this stadium definitely are out of it.

We have a football commentator who is a big fan of tautologies

Yes, but it's also a pun. Being "out of it" has a meaning of its own: confused, barely conscious, detached from reality.
