Perhaps it will help me to make my audiences feel captivated rather than held captive.

All hail Lord Zeugma!

here’s my attempt:

Diaskeue+anaspora: alas! look what has happened to the english language. how chaucer harvested it in wit and pose, shakespeare spun its thread to beauty beyond the ages, milton weaved the threads to evoke fear of damnation and longings of paradise, and once, churchill, that old english bulldog, harnessed the fabrics of its courage to deliver the world from tyranny.

alas!how they will despair of the lolspeak, how they will despair of the typos, how they will despair the ignorant, indiscriminate use of ‘there-their-they’re’, how they will despair of their toils that have come to naught.

whewww..my brain hurts. yeah, it is strange that this list went so uncommented.
