angemediaTitle: Ange is Educational
Genre: General/Humor
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Various
Summary: A drabble for each letter of the alphabet that pretends to enlighten you on certain topics (what you actually learn is questionable however XD). Now at the letters G to H.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
G for GRAMMAR
Consider this hypothetical situation.
The Aube Hunters are lost in a random forest for days.
Everyone is hungry, sleep-deprived and exhausted from fighting.
Nyx is murmuring "Darjeeling" and swearing in turns, Hyuga keeps telling everyone he needs a bath and J.D. is wet & slimy from being accidentally pushed into the last infested pool he tried to keep Hyuga out of.
Rayne is running low on ammunition, not to mention, patience.
The worst thing to ask at a time like this is -
Is Thanatoi singular or plural ?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
H for HYPERBOLE
"When will the meeting end ?" Marcel whispered, watching the older guardians talk. "I'm getting really hungry."
"I don't know. I'm so hungry I could eat five burgers," Randy whispered back.
"I could eat ten," Zephel cut in.
"I could eat twenty."
This exchange went back and forth until Zephel suddenly declared, "Yeah ? I'm so hungry I could eat a googolplex of burgers !" And would have followed up with a "Hah, I win!" for good measure if it didn't hit him at that point how the room was eerily silent, and probably had been that way for awhile judging by the gamut of expressions on everyone's faces.
"What is this needless hyperbole ?" Julious asked, slowly.
"Actually, the last one was an adynaton," Luva observed, then laughed sheepishly when Julious looked unamused.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A/N: A googolplex is 1010100. Supposedly there isn't enough room in the universe to write down a googolplex in actual numbers, much less fit all the hamburgers Zephel claims he'd eat. Luva calls this an adynaton (an exaggeration to the point of impossibility) instead of a hyperbole (an extreme exaggeration).
