Super Random

 Why would you want your ducks --- all your ducks at that --- to be in a row?  Is there an advantage to having them so arranged?

Dotting i's and crossing t's. . .  I always do the latter, no matter how I'm writing, but never do the former if I am printing.

"Extraordinary" shouldn't be an indication of wonder, if you think about it.  "Extraordinary" is only more ordinary.  "Extra mayo" doesn't mean better mayo, just more mayo.  So calling something "extraordinary" means that it's just doubly (triply, etc.) ordinary.

Can we retire the word "countless"?  Nothing is truly countless, it's just that some things would take a really, really, really long time to count.  They are not uncountable.
