"bizarely mixed metaphors?"

I do Elizabethan English. Far more fun than all that modern day 'stuff' :0)

Sits back and waits for a thesis on Elizabethan English to appear... ;0)

Noooooooo! I just meant that I make it up as I go along because I don't get all inside out and upside down about grammar, mainly because my brain can't remember it all, and even if it could, it probably wouldn't. I love playing with words, standing them on their heads and mixing them up, making patters with them that twirl off the tongue and slide downwards to land in a soft heap of muddle..It's what my brain does. It's 'my' English. :0)

Will Shakey would understand.
