PS What's enthymeme?
In an enthymeme, the speaker builds an argument with one element removed, leading listeners to fill in the missing piece.
(I googled it).
Pancakes
Cupcakes
Chocolate cake
Muffins
Apple pie
Brownies
Peanut butter cookies with chocolate chunks
Um, .... my favorite words :)
Frisky Librarian - Vespertine is awesome.
Twisted Susan - That well googled! :) I did a subject on rhetoric this semester and Aristotle is all about the enthymeme
DDG - I think I am sensing a pattern...I'll e-mail you my favourite peanut butter cookie recipe (ok, that's a lie, but it's my favourite gluten free peanut butter recipe! :)).
