English is SO difficult!

[Freedom]

I just need to rant a bit about how vague our language can be. And how misleading.

Flyer arrives in the mail from the local grocery store. Chicken is 10 pounds for $10. That means chicken is FOR sale; the chicken is not ON sale, as it was 69 cents per pound last week. THAT was ON sale. Do people even realize that these terms mean different things? I bet lots of folks don't consider it. We use the same term to mean two different things. Some things in the flyer actually are ON sale, but most are just FOR sale. Grumble.

And what about my cats? I have 2 DLH (domestic long hair ) and 7 DSH (domestic short hair) even though NONE of my cats have hair! They all have FUR.

I bet you can think of other confusing English terminology. For some reason, it just irks me at this moment!
