(Extra)Ordinary
by PrincessSnk @ 2008-05-08 - 05:10:55

Just a random thought which struck me-

extra-ordinary is a term we generally use to say tht somethings fantastic, above average/ordinary etc but we actually split the word it would mean "more of the ordinary" if we take the literal meaning.

hmm.. a logical error or a deceptive word?
