UP

I was just thinking today that the hardest word in the English language is UP, I've found out that its listed in the dictionary as an adverb, preparation, adjective, noun, verb; if you take the time to look you would see that the meaning will take UP at least 1/4 of the page.

Its easy to understand the meaning of up as in towards the sky or at the top of a list. But when we wake up in the mornings why do we wake UP? At school, why does a topic come UP? And for home work why is is UP for us to write UP a report? We call UP our friends, brighten UP the room, warm UP our food, clean UP our room, lock UP our locker and fix UP our hair.

At other times this word is used in a way you actually care about, like to make UP excesses, to stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, or to work UP an apatite. To get dressed is one thing, to dress UP is something special.

All this talk about UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because its clogged UP. We open UP a store in the morning and we close it UP at night. I seem to be getting pretty mixed UP about UP.

To know the proper use of UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary. You will probably find it will add UP to about thirty definitions. When the sun comes out we say its clearing UP. When it rains it soaks up, when it has nor rained fro a long time we say its drying UP. I could go on but I'll wrap it UP for now. Okay now I'll shut UP.

Wow... I need a hobby!
