Think about this fact, or rather just a simple sentence...

"You're very photogenic!"

Very ugly in person, I suppose?

The beauty of English, now I've just discovered. Some things are written in a nice way, disguising the real hideous truth behind it.

"I wish you good luck in your upcoming exams."

Have you been failing your papers lately and thus, your bad luck is too obvious not to be seen?

"Happy Birthday to you!"

For how many years have you endured a sad and depressing birthday?


I rest my case.
