Penparadise you cease to amaze me, thanks

[Robert Hughes]

Penparadise you cease to amaze me, thanks

I believe the polite term is, "You never start to amaze me".

[Kalessin]

Or perhaps Sherm meant to type, "Penparadise, you never cease to amaze me."

Good point, the missing word NEVER is key in that phrase. Sorry Axel

Interesting what a difference a word (or two) makes:

 

In America, so many seem to say "I could care less", when I'd have thought they meant "I could NOT care less"!

 

Leaving out a 'Not' often, IMO, reduces the 'power' of such a comment..... "It's impossible to say enough..." lacks the force of "It's impossible to say too much..."

 

BTW, one of the funniest and most ambiguous references I ever saw was "If you can get this lady to work for you, you'll be very fortunate"

Can we assume that quote is from Eliot Spitzer? :embarrassed_smile:
