Deb, the answer is
the product's fault* (* If you are 3 years old) .... My son does this all the time. He makes a bridge out of play-dough and it collapses. He says, "Stupid bridge!". |

Most writers will agree that using the same word with two different meanings in the same sentence is no way to carry on a communication. The trouble with relying on one book for all of your prose is that your vocaulary never has a chance to grow. |

I apologize for being insulting. But I was actually being quite serious.
You used the same word twice in a sentence and expected us to deduce two different meanings from it. Isn't that kind of nuts? |
