Limited Spaces

Sign on private school reads: "Limited Spaces Available for Admission for the 2017: Sign up Now!" Well. Is there any question that the spaces are limited? Had the modifier not been used would anyone be under the impression the spaces were unlimited? Would anyone be of the opinion that the amount of chairs, pencils, labtops desks, would reasch into infinity? So if it is unwarranted for such a clarity "Limited" must have some purpose. It does. It manipulates us to cry: "Oh my goodness! I'll have to sign up, pay the tuition, enroll without a second to spare. The spaces are after all: LIMITED."

Using language without the intergrity words deserve we get into a sloppy habit of allowing ouselves to be seduced by language. We become open to propaganda. I think we do well to interrogate the texts. May our eyes and ears be filters for the falsehood so fashionable today.
