Strange and cool word from my word-a-day calendar yesterday, hendiadys, meaning:
a figure of speech in which two words connected by a conjunction are used to express a single notion that would normally be expressed by an adjective and a substantive, such as 'grace and favor' instead of 'gracious favor.'
Funny, I do that all the time, note the beginning of this post.
