Except, of course, when they're not.
Seriously, when I SAY, "good and ready" it comes out as "good-n-ready."
Wayne mentioned "[t]hese pillows are lovely and soft," which to my ear
sounds like two characteristics. I pronounce the `and' with that

Interesting!

the lurkers on the list have a better understanding of hendiadys.
BTW, thanks Wayne. <smile>
