1. Why does the sign say, "No smoking on the bus."? Heck, I want to smoke "in" the bus, not on it.
2. Why "no smoking on the elevator" when I am "in the elevator."
3. Why do we say, "The alarm went off" when it actually turned "on". Heck, I always say, "Turn off the alarm" after it goes off. Huh!
4. Have you ever wondered that when you are on the computer, you press "page down", the screen/page actually scrolls up!
For the Spanish speaking people, I was told "esta" implies 'temporary'. Why do you say "El pero esta muerto (the dog is dead)." Heck, the dog "is" dead.
Grrrr!!! I am all confused.
