People who say 'an hyperbole' when it should be 'a hyperbole'.
Yellow Fang said:An hyperbole
Yellow Fang said:'Hyperbole', and the shorted form, 'hype' is another word I don't understand the usage of. For a start it's pronounced hyperbolee, not hyperbowl like I heard some reporter say on radio 5 live. An hyperbole is the path taken by a cannonball (ignoring air resistance), so how did it came to mean over-publicising?

Globalti said:Wrong. Squash was invented in commemoration of the very first accidental suicide bomber Haji Abdul Bin Siq Kwash who blew himself up when he lobbed a primitive grenade at Spanish Christian infidels in the wars of the 16th century caliphate. Unfortunately he was sleep walking at the time and the grenade bounced off the bedroom wall and blew up at his feet, killing him.
Two entirely different words, "hyperbole" and "hyperbola". The hyperbole is the over-statement of something. The hyperbola is the curve.Yellow Fang said:'Hyperbole', and the shorted form, 'hype' is another word I don't understand the usage of.
