Or replace every ewe with eye. All you have to do is change a single letter.
I attempted to solve a problem for a friend who wanted to carry a watter bottle around at work. I googled "water bottle holster" and the first hit revealed a veritable cornucopia of water bottle holsters.
I had no idea science had been so hard at work bringing water bottle holsters to the masses.
I'm almost sad I have no real need for one.

I heard the expression "shed a new light on problem" many times. Recently I heard "shed problem in a new light". Is this correct and idiomatic?
I was unfamiliar with this passive use of shed. I only knew the active use "the sun sheds light..."

Look at that politely.
@Szabolcs Shed, or see?
I think I've only heard "see X in a new light"
We used to have really cool LED lighting in our pharmacy.

@Mitch that gets me "replace every 'I' with 'I'". Which makes no sense. What is Ir point?

@Færd But extremely long!
I don't know much about Peterson's ideas, but most did not strike me as significant.
Only his aversion from political correctness, and from its encroach on freedom, seemed sensible.

@RegDwigнt Didn't get your Valued Associate reference. Hey, nobody's perfect.
@JennaSloan It's apt to do that from time to time.

Little David was in his 5th grade class when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up - fireman, policeman, salesman, doctor, lawyer.
David was being uncharacteristically quiet, so the teacher asked him about his father. "My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men and they put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the offer's really good, he'll go home with some guy and have sex with him for money."

Why do English teachers like to ruin good books? TKAM is a wonderful book but I hate it as my teacher made us memorize every last detail and analyze it twice.
