Mach

why ?

Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo?

Why do we put suits in a garment bag and garments in a suitcase?

Why are they called 'stands' when they're made for sitting?

Why do they call it a black light when it's really purple?

Why is it called a TV set when there is only one?

Why do we say "bye bye" but not "hi hi"?

Why does caregiver and caretaker mean the same thing?

Why do all the days of the week end in "y"?

yeah, maybe it would be a good idea to read the full thread before responding next time. However, it isn't like I stole it from you. We are equally as guilty of stealing that joke. giggle

You would still make a shipment of Cargo.

Why do we put suits in a garment bag and garments in a suitcase?
Cus you is 'merican, we call them suitbags and suitcases.

Why are they called 'stands' when they're made for sitting?

Cus you used to stand up before seating was introduced

Why do they call it a black light when it's really purple?
only when it's on, the bulb unplugged looks black.

Why is it called a TV set when there is only one?
They were originally made up of several components all of which were required as a set for the picture to work.

Why do we say "bye bye" but not "hi hi"?

Dunno confuse

Why does caregiver and caretaker mean the same thing?

again, cus you is 'merican. Here a caretaker is janitor and that is clearly not the same thing!!

Why do all the days of the week end in "y"?

Because thay are all Days and the word day ends in "y"
