It isn't all round. I know that, of course I do - I'm not thick. *Neither have I been living in a cupboard in John o' Groats since World War Two. *Nor have I been living since birth in a hut in darkest Antarctica. *Or on the Moon. I wasn't raised by wolves in the wilds of Siberia. *Or anywhere else where they don't have fruit. I know about bananas and pears, and probably other non-round fruit that I can't quite think of at the moment, and I am putting it out there before anyone starts.
However, the fact remains that most fruit is round. Apples, oranges, grapefruit, Sharon fruit, kiwi fruit (yes, oval I know, but basically that IS round), grapes (again, an elongated form of round, but still round-ish), lemons (same), tomatoes (controversial), pomegranates, blueberries, strawberries (sort of round) - I could go on, but won't.
*I do realise - because I'm not thick, right? - that I've made mistakes slash errors with my nors ors and neithers. But right now I have a life to live, a cup of tea to make, a biscuit to dunk, the toilet to go to, nails to file, nose hairs to pluck - and I cannot be arsed looking up the correct grammatical 'usages' or 'use', even, and so for the moment at least they must stay as they are. Imperfect - like non-round fruit.
Tomorrow's question - linked. Why are raspberries hollow?
