B
There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word. It’s “up”. It’s easy to understand the word, meaning towards a higher place or position, but when we awake in the morning, why do we wake up? At a meeting, why does a topic come up? Why do we speak up and why is it up to the secretary to write up a report? We call up our friends, warm up the leftovers and clean up the kitchen. We lock up the house and some guys fix up the old car. Sometimes the little word has other special meanings. People line up for tickets and think up excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed up is special, and this is confusing.
We seem to be pretty mixed up about “up”. To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of “up”, look up the word in the dictionary. In a desk-size dictionary, “up” takes up almost one-fourth of the page and definitions add up to about 30. If you are up to it, you might try building up a list of the many ways “up” is used. It will take up a lot of your time, but if you don’t give up, you may wind up with 100 or more. One could go on and on, but I’ll wrap it up, for now my time is up, so I’ll shut up.
