I read Wayne Leman's posting on the BTrans list.

<grumble>

He cited something like:


  I'll do it when I'm good and ready

as being hendiadys.

Soooooooo...

From henceforth, all rules will be followed by the word `except'.
Except, of course, when they're not.

Seriously, when I SAY, "good and ready" it comes out as "good-n-ready."
Wayne mentioned "[t]hese pillows are lovely and soft," which to my ear
sounds like two characteristics. I pronounce the `and' with that
sentence. So, phonemologically, I use two different words.

Interesting!

Well, I don't know how much Greek is in here, but I hope this helps
the lurkers on the list have a better understanding of hendiadys.

BTW, thanks Wayne. <smile>
