[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Here Hear Here Hear and Other Expressions

[Sister Mary Lunatic]

There's an expression I always see and hear misspoken (at least in my
opinion):

People say, "You can't have your cake and eat it too."

which should really be said as:

"You can't eat your cake and have it too."

The second way of saying it makes the meaning much more clear, in my mind.
It makes it plain that if you use up a possession, you no longer have
possession of it.


On a philosophical note, I'm always amused by the expression "saving
time" -- you can't really save time.  At the end of 24 hours, you've spent
all 24 hours... there's no carry-over into the next day or week or year.
It's only HOW you spend those 1,440 minutes a day that matters.
