Assignment: Some popular slogans are conclusions or premises of enthymemes. The statement that "Elvis has left the building" is part of a long enthymematic argument whose other premises are never stated. Think of three popular phrases or slogans and articulate their other premises.
Milk is good for you.
Famous people drink milk.
Got milk?
Think you know what is possible?
AT&T will help you think again.
Re-think possible.
Tastes good.
It's cheap.
I'm lovin' it ;-)
p.s. "Beginnings of a Project" has been updated ;-)

"A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels." Proverbs 1:5
"How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" Psalm 119:103
I can't wait to hear what you have to say to me, whether it be words of wisdom or some sweet honey of encouragement. But if it isn't either of those, please be respectful and keep your thoughts to yourself.
