It sounds like a worthwhile day out for
farmers interested in how•ineome tax laws
will affect them this year - or learning how to
avoid unnecessary taxation burdens using
the government's own guidelines.
Let's try
A Bayfield man, Mac ugalt, • sent -
an item to The Sentinel this weak with the
request for this newspaper to help, disconr-
age the misuse of the phrage "you know"- in
common, everyday language.
,It's a good point, -but how much The
Sentinel can influence this change in
people's conversation is debatable.
The item sent by MacDougall . suggested
that front-page publicity be given to those
two little words, "you know". That article
said that if people could be made to see how
foolish it sounds, over and over again, they
might be more anxious to eliminate the
, words in their own 'conversation.
It does seem correct to.say, that for some
persons, there is no way to explain them-
- selves or to complete a statement without
using the bothersome phrase several times.
It 'is just as annoying as that ,ineaningless
word "uh-h" which many folk insist on
sprinkling liberally throtigh their conserva-
tion.
This newspaper agrees that the frequent
Use of "you know": .should be declared a-' 'no
no" but in a time when there are so many
other more vital problems to be solved, it
seems like a waste of time and energy to be
concerned about something so trivial. You
know?
