MUFFIN, YOU CAN'T EVEN SPELL, NOW GO AWAY AND EAT SOME GRAPES!
By the by, Alliteration is defined as the repetition of the same starting sound in several words of a sentence. Not two words, but several. Take the following example taken from classical literature's Beowulf.
Two peas can be in a pod, why not two in alliteration.......the result is just as nice.........3 and 4 becomes moronic!
Ða com of more under mist-hleopum
Grendel gongan; Godes yrre baer . . .
(Then came from the moor, under the misty hills,
Grendel stalking; the God's anger bare).
You didn't need to translate this for me, by the way,
I have this whole poem memorized:
baer yrre godes gongan Grendel hleopum-mist under more of com da!
That's how the next line goes.......I even asked Walter Stoyanovich and he confirms it!
