So a lot of our language is lazy.  Contractions abbreviations, slang and don’t get me started on that silly chat acronym stuff. (LOL, BRB, ROFL, etcetera)

 I was thinking the other day,  why do we say “underneath”?  What’s a neath?  When is it ever better to add the “neath,” when “under” wouldn’t be ’nuff?

Again ”This one” makes sense, but why do we say “These ones”  …Ones?… That doesn’t make any sense… we should just say “these”

Come on all you overachievers, let it go.
