Prelude  –  Earthly  Awakening

The correct voting method for determining the preferred election candidate has
been revealed by the Federal Electorate of Cook during 2010 and 2013 thereby
creating Legalistic Edwina the practical companion of Philosophical Edwina

It is termed the  Natural  Law  of  Elections –  see Election Petition 2013   part B

Regality  –  Earthly  Divinity

Law is a phenomenon arising from possibility expressed by limitation and doth form the hidden symbolism of the  Scales of Justice  –  the balance of possibility and limitation  

The weighing of evidence connotation for the  Scales of Justice does serve as a diversion

Wisdom  –  Earthly  Enlightenment

This earthly realm is one of free will and free choice providing that the exertion of such
causes no physical harm to others or their immediate personal property

Law both natural and man made does exist to ensure that the aforestated is so

Axiom  –  Earthly  Lore

No man made  artificial / human  law is binding without consent both collectively and
individually and this forms the fundamental and foundation basis of all such law

Consent must not be obtained by threat or use of damaging physical force

Paradox  –  Earthly  Dilemna / Dilemma

Consent both collective or individual for binding enforceable law may be legally
obtained through trickeryand deception and physical harm could result

However trickery and deception are both unethical practices not withstanding

Manifestation  –  Earthly  Awareness

Ones birth  time / date / place  forms the channel for the natural law while
ones registered or known name forms the channel for the man made law .

Modus  Operandi  –  Earthly  Limitation

Dictatorial subjugation or the electoral vote and the associative process and procedure does represent the collective surrender and transfer of sovereign individual legal power and has been historically symbolised and depicted as physical human sacrifice

.

The remainder of Legalistic Edwina will now be devoted to word and fact familiarisation

.

THE  PHRASAL  VERB 

.

This phenomenon will arise when a verb is followed by a word that normally should be used as a preposition which shall create an independent meaning that doth use two words instead of a correct single verb . Prepositions should be grammatically placed before object words and if the misplacement does continue the language itself may eventually lose many words through disuse . The foundation phenomenon will create associated phenomena but the underlying cause does represent backward thought indicative of general language regression and decay

.

Note  – the single correct replacement verb and conjugation will depend upon the context

by omission from a bygone era of the corner store now predominantly s uperseded
by the shopping centre or complex

I shall fetch some milk from the  shop around  the corner

” hurry  up ”    should remain the single word  hurry  as the nature of the command
involves increasing the unstated actions rate of performance but it was originally derived by omission from a bygone era of overt class structured society now predominantly superseded by a covert class structured society under the illusory guise of ” equal opportunity “

” Hurry upstairs ” commanded the mistress from her bedroom on the upper level of the manor house to her servant girl located in the servants quarters on the ground level .

Note  –  if subjected to the above misused term refute the servant label or inference

tidy  up  / pack  up  represent other common false phrasal verbs of this nature

 .

The  Phrasal  Verb  –  with  more  than  two  words

come  up  with  /  create  or  invent  or  devise  or  suggest  or  propose

get  rid  of  / eradicate

made  fun  of  /  ridiculed  or derided  or  mocked  or  patronise

on the table  /  publicised

put  up  with  /  tolerate

ran  out  of  /  exhausted  or  depleted

walk  on  by  / pass  or  ignore

went  out  with  /  accompanied  or  dated  or  escorted

.

THE  FALSE  PHRASAL  VERB 

.

The phrasal verb will arise when two or more words replace a single correct word and function independently and possess the same meaning as that single correct word while omission or needless addition sometimes creates a  false  phrasal  verb  and such cannot be replaced by a single word or another single word 

.

THE  PHRASAL  ADVERB  –  officially unrecognised as a separate category

.

at  the  end  of  the  day  /  ultimately

every  now  and  again  /  occasionally

once  in  a  while  /  infrequently

once  in  a  blue  moon  /  rarely

by  the  way  /  incidentally

used  to  /  once

Note  –  these list and the responses merely identify and illustrate  phenomena or trends   and should not be deemed comprehensive nor definitive but only a personal selection

.

THE  MISSING  VERB  SYNDROME 

.

The word ” is” may perform grammatically as an independent verb or an auxiliary verb but its classification  will depend upon whether a verb has been inadvertently omitted or excluded . The following examples will illustrate this particular trend or phenomenon .

” This  is Creek Street . “

more correctly or fully expressed  becomes

” This section of roadway  is named Creek Street . “

” The object  is  a table . “

more correctly or fully expressed becomes

” The object here with the four protrusions  is called  a table . “

” He  is  dead .”

more correctly or fully expressed becomes

” He  is  now  termed  dead . “

” That  is  an igneous rock . “

more correctly or fully expressed becomes

” That rock  is classified  igneous . “

” That book  is  a spy thriller . “

more correctly or fully expressed becomes

” That book is categorised   a fictional spy thriller . “

” The ant  is  an insect . “

more correctly or fully expressed becomes

” The ant  is classed  an insect . “

” Our home  is  in Hurstville . “

more correctly or fully expressed becomes

” Our home  is located within the suburb of Hurstville . “

” The beach  isbetween the two rivers . “

more correctly or fully expressed becomes

” The beach  is situated on the east coastline between the two river heads . “

” The long distance runner  istowards the front of the field . “

more correctly or fully expressed becomes

” The long distance runner  is positioned  towards the front of the field . “

” A complement of ten workers  is the minimum requirement . “

more correctly or fully expressed becomes

” A complement of ten workers  is deemed  the minimum legal requirement . “

” English  is  both a clever language and the end language . “

more correctly or fully expressed becomes

” English  is considered  both a clever language and the end language . “

En d glish  –  ” glish ” represents an archaic word meaning language

In grammatical reality the word  ”  is  ”  should mainly be used as an  auxiliary  verbfor there will mostly exist a hidden verb used as qualification of  ”  is”  or a word
or sentence rearrangement that will replace the use and function of  ”  is “

.

THE  PLURAL  VERB   MANIA 

.

A verb may only be made plural by a preceding auxiliary however a disturbing trend has arisen whereby the  full verb is being written as a ” s ” plural . This misusage does occur by an omission of the preceding auxiliary .

” The introduction of unnecessary restriction  makes  life difficult . “

more correctly expressed will become

” The introduction of unnecessary restriction  will make life difficult . “

.

THE  DOUBLE  SHUFFLE 

.

This now current phenomenon occurs when an action is either unnecessarily prefaced by the implied element of such action or an action is unnecessarily expressed using two full verbs instead of a single verb thereby needlessly creating phrasal verbs .

” I will  attempt tosolve the problem . “

better expressed will become either

” I will be  solving the problem . ”  –  with the  attempt element implied

” I will  attempt a solution of the problem . ”  –  with the  attempt element expressed

” I  intend to  visit the library later today . “

better expressed will become either

” I  may  visit the library later today . ”  –  with the intend element implied

” I  could be  visiting the library later today . ”  –  with the  intend element implied

” I  should be  visiting the library later today . ”  –  with the  intend element implied

” I  will visit the library later today . ”  –  with the intendelement implied

” I  will be visiting the library later today . ”  –  with the  intend element implied

” I intend a library visitation later today . ”  –  with the  intend  element expressed

want to  /  like to  /  wish to  –  lie in the same category and should likewise be avoided

Note –  using two full verbs for a single action doth represent a contradiction

.

THE  OPPOSITE  SHUFFLE

.

This phenomenon will arise when a negative opposite is used rather than the direct word .

“ Don’t forget your bag . ” 

better expressed will become 

“ Remember your bag . ” 

and fully expressd would become  

“ Remember ( to ) take your bag . ” 

but that would consequently form a  double shuffle  so the implied verb is omitted
with the pre-emptive exclamation becoming the verb .

.

THE  PHRASAL  VERB 

.

This phenomenon should not exist as it initially arose when a verb was followed by
a word normally used as a preposition creating an independent meaning using two
words instead of a correct single verb . Prepositions are grammatically placed before object words and if the misplacement continues the language itself may eventually
lose many words through disuse . The foundation phenomenon creates associated phenomena but the underlying cause represents backward thought indicative of a
general language regression and decay .

but that would consequently form a  double shuffle  so the implied verb is omitted
with the pre-emptive exclamation becoming the verb .

PLURAL  WORD  ERADICATION   ( 28 – 05 – 2022 )

.

Plural is defined as   –  a word form that will indicate more than one of a single thing

However there does exist a better word arrangement that can replace pluralisation

.

example  –  the O word ended fruit or vegetable   . . . . . .   avocado  /  potato  /  tomato

.

small ( loose ) quantity of such   . . . . . .

six avocado  /  seven potato  /  nine tomato 

.

why use the unnecessary and illogical present pluralisation of   . . . . . .

six avocados or seven potatoes or nine tomatoes

.

moderate quantity of such   . . . . . .

a ( 24 ) tray of avocado  /  a ( 20 kg ) bag of potato  /  a ( 10 kg ) box of tomato

.

why use the unnecessary and illogical present pluralisation of   . . . . . .

a ( 24 ) tray of avocados  /  a ( 20 kg ) bag of potatoes  /  a ( 10 kg ) box of tomatoes

.

large quantity of such   . . . . . .

an avocado grove  /  a potato field  /  a tomato hot house

or   . . . . . .

a grove of avocado ( tree )  /  a field of potato ( plant )  /  a hot house of tomato ( plant )

.

why use the unnecessary and illogical present pluralisation of   . . . . . .

a grove of avocados  /  a field of potatoes  /  a hot house of tomatoes

or   . . . . . .

a grove of avocado trees  /  a field of potato plants  /  a hot house of tomato plants 

.

unspecified time frame   . . . . . .   (  07 – 07 – 22  )

that event did occur many a long year ago

why pluralise the word  year  in the manner  . . . . . .   that event did occur many years ago 

.

This depicted grammar principle my be applied to many a single thing or almost anything 

The present word plural system does covertly uphold  –  disconnectedness from the whole

SEED  PROPAGATION 

.

Types of Seed Dormancy  –  post shedding

Immature Embryo  &  Post Ripening

Impermeable Seed Coats –  preventing entry of water / gas / chemical

Tough Seed Coats –  providing mechanical embryo development resistance

Excessive Salts  –  halting continued embryo development

Chemical Inhibitors  –  inside fruit / in seed coat / in embryo  –  preventing germination

Natural Ending of Seed Dormancy  –  increasing seed permeability

Completion  –  of post ripening period

Attainment  –  of full embryonic maturity

Mechanical  Abrasion  –  rupturing or weakening the seed coat

Microbial  Action  –  weakening impermeable & tough seed coats

Growth  Hormone  Production  –  counteracting chemical inhibitors

Heat  &  Light  &  Cold  –  inactivating or oxidizing chemical inhibitors

Leaching  –  of chemical seed coat inhibitors & internal fruit inhibitors

Digestive  Enzyme  Action  –  of fruit feeding animals  –  particularly birds

.
