[FA]

*I'm sure you will enjoy this.  I never knew one word in the English 
language that can be a noun, verb, adj, adv,  prep.*

_UP
_


Read until the end ... you'll laugh.



This two-letter word in English has more meanings than  any other 
two-letter word, and that word  is _UP_.'It is listed in the dictionary 
as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].



It's  easy to understand _UP_, meaning toward the sky or at the top of 
the list,  but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake _UP_?



At  a meeting, why does a topic come _UP_? Why do we speak _UP_, and why 
are the officers _UP_for  election (if there is a tie, it is a toss UP) 
and why is it _UP _to the secretary to write _UP_a  report? Â We 
call_UP_our  friends, brighten _UP_a  room, polish_UP_the  silver, warm 
_UP_the  leftovers and clean _UP_the  kitchen. We lock _UP_the house and 
fix _UP_the  old car.



At other times, this little word has real special meaning. People stir 
_UP_trouble, line _UP_for  tickets, work _UP_an  appetite, and think 
_UP_excuses.



To  be dressed is one thing but to be dressed _UP_is  special.



And  this _UP_is confusing:  A drain must be opened _UP _because it is 
blocked _UP_..

We  open _UP_a  store in the morning but we close it _UP _at night.  We 
seem to be pretty mixed _UP_about _UP_!



To  be knowledgeable about the proper uses of _UP_, look _UP_the word 
_UP_in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes _UP_almost 
1/4 of the page and can add _UP_to  about thirty definitions.



If  you are _UP_to it, you might try building _UP_a  list of the many 
ways _UP_is used.  It will take _UP_a  lot of your time, but if you 
don't give _UP_, you may wind _UP_with (UPto) a  hundred or more.



When  it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding _UP_. When the sun 
comes out, we say it is clearing _UP_. When it rains, it soaks _UP_the 
earth.  When it does not rain for awhile, things dry _UP_.One could go 
on and on, but I'll wrap it _UP_, for now . . . my time is _UP_!

and the last thing you  do at night?
