I like alliteration. It's a literary thingy that I genuinely love. I was reminded of this fact when reading over a letter I'm writing to a client.

...we will compare the costs and charges to confirm that the calculations are correct...

I am amused.

Yah, me too. I know we must Avoid Alliteration Always, but I love it. It's appropriate for HP fandom, too.

Avoid Alliteration Always

Hee! I love the hypocrisy within that rule!

I'm of two minds about that rule anyway. I mean, we shouldn't go overboard, but a little bit can be used nicely to measure the flow and sound of the sentence.

Plus, it's so much fun!

so ends her defense of alliteration.
