A reminder that there is one word in the English language that can be a noun, verb, adjective, adverb, and preposition.

UP Read until the end .. you'll 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].

It's 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 comeUP? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for election? Why is itUP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends, brightenUP a room, polish UP the silver, warmUP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and fixUP the old car.

People can stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and thinkUP excuses.

To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special

And this UP is confusing: a drain mustbe opened UP because it is stopped UP.



We open UP a store in the morning, but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!

To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it can take UP almost 1/4 of the page and can have UP to about thirty definitions.

If you are UP to it, you might try buildingUP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UPwith a hundred or more items on your list.

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, the earth soaks it UP. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UPfor 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 !



Did that one crack you UP?



Don't screw UP. Send this on to everyone you look UP in your address book ... or not ... it's UP to you.



Now I'll shut UP!
