[edit] Almost only examples
This article, as it stands, has almost no explaining text. It deals exclusively in examples, and these do not come with explanations. I have no trouble understanding their meaning, but I think many people with English as their second language may have some difficulty getting their meaning. The bit about tourists and the "dogs must be carried" sign illustrates my point, I think. Also, stuff like when this was coined, by who, etc. should be added to a history section.

[edit] Confusing Example
Here is the explanation behind 'dogs must be carried' reference:
I'm afraid it still gives me some amusement to see the "Dogs must be carried" sign at the bottom of escalators as I do think that there will be a number of confused tourists wondering where they're going to get a dog so that they can travel up the escalator. .......... doh!!!!
?? Dogs must be carried ?? I DONT GET IT EITHER!! I feel strange that I dont have a clue!!! ?
- "Dogs must be carried." (sign on the escalators of the London Underground) - I don't get it.
- Plus, we might want to organize the examples, since right now the structure is: 1) an example. 2) "A better example might be..." 3) A list of examples.Lackthereof 23:34, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
