Anyone who has ever read this column will most certainly know that I am not someone who generally uses big words or words that send you running to the drawer for a dictionary.
I am a simple man with simple tastes - something which my lovely wife seems to take great pleasure in reminding me of on any day of the week that ends in a 'y'.
I am not the educated one in the family - although I do have an education - however, I am by far the good looking one.
Over the years my adorable wife has made some slip ups with the English language, some of which I have reiterated here. Being East Indian she usually tells me it is because English is a second language for her, although she was born and raised here.
However, she has taken it on herself to continually educate herself and to one day become proficient in the English language. So, every day she looks up some fancy words in the new dictionary/thesaurus I bought her for mother's day. I know, I know, you all wish your spouses were as thoughtful as me. Anyway, every so often she will throw one of her new favourite words into the conversation (argument) to try to throw me off track. It worked for a while until she reverted back to some of her old ways by using the word in the wrong context or pronouncing it wrong.
And it was my adorable wife and her dictionary/thesaurus that came to mind this week while wandering around the Mega Sale at the Exhibition Grounds parking lot. There were cars and trucks, SUVs and minivans as far as the eye could see. You could even say there was a plethora of vehicles, a cornucopia of cars, even an excess of SUVs. There is definitely a profusion of palatable prices, a deluge of delectable deals, with superfluous savings to be had on an abundance of automobiles.
Whether you are in the market for a new or used vehicle, or are just looking for something to do, the mammoth Mega Sale runs until Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily with the copiousness of this car collection catering to both children and their chaperones with cheap prices, cut back interest rates and carriages to suit every character.
I am hoping that at about this stage in the article my adorable wife will take her dictionary/thesaurus into the other room to look up these words, which means I get time to do whatever I want.
You see, there was more thought put into purchasing the dictionary/thesaurus than you might have first assumed.
Anyway, no matter what your education level is or whether you have a penchant for big words, the Mega Sale has vehicles to meet every budget, and deals that will put a smile on even the most botox straightened face.
Some dealers are offering zero per cent interest rates, some are offering up to $10,000 off of selected vehicles - now that will buy a lot of dictionary/thesauruses, and some dealers seem to be having a party. The great thing is all the dealers are so close that you can find out the best deal one dealer is offering then walk 20 yards to the next dealer and see if you can get a better deal there. It is the easiest way to compare several vehicles you are interested in. Every dealer is in the same place, insurance is available if you buy a vehicle and all the paperwork can be completed on site.
This is the best time to buy a vehicle, it is also the best time to read through your dictionary/thesaurus to learn some big words and use them in a conversation with the sales rep to look smarter and maybe confuse them into giving you a better deal.
There is plenty of parking available and with only three days left in the Mega Sale you don't want to waste your time perfecting your pronunciation for the deal of the decade. Just head over to the Exhibition Grounds parking lot, and try your hand, there is bound to be a deal for you.
