NOTHING IS SOMETHING WHEN IT HAS A DEFINITION!
Talking about nothing. It’s actually harder than one may think, because
when are you talking about nothing, even nothing has connotations... empty,
boring, plain. So practically speaking ‘nothing’ isn’t actually nothing, is it?
See I see you thinking, your scratching your wise old' heads, bums perched on
seats gazing at this article in amazement - 'oh yeah' (true) you all chorus
together.
- that is a
variation of the term 'nothing'. Clever. You like? Of course you do! Here’s
another nothing - ‘nothing’. The thing is, although nothing isn’t the answer to many
things it is a powerful word and has many different language variations, for
instance ‘unknown’ – this is crazy as the word means nothing, so why do you
have variations of nothings? It beats me.
Nice play on words and the absence of words! Check your/you're. Be careful not to assume the wrong thing about the audience as you will put readers off. Synthetic personalisation is actually very hard to get right so keep trying!
