Polysyndeton (pol-y-syn’-de-ton): Employing many conjunctions between clauses, often slowing the tempo or rhythm. (Asyndeton is the opposite of polysyndeton: an absence of conjunctions.)

I woke up and rolled around, and then got out of bed, and then went into the kitchen, and brewed some coffee, and drank a cup, and started to become REALLY awake, and then I sliced a piece of coffee cake and stuffed it in my face, and I settled in to watch my favorite cartoon shows!

Sunday morning. Sleeping until noon and relaxing all day long in my bathrobe, and watching junk TV. What could be better? Monday morning? Ha! Ha! Never in a million years!

Procatalepsis (pro-cat-a-lep’-sis): Refuting anticipated objections.

We have all the resources we need to move forward with the project. Most importantly, we have a cadre of experienced supervisors and laborers ready to go. We have the funding as well.

This plan has been well-considered and anticipates key objections (as above). Just let me know if you need further elaboration on the funding or the workforce & I’ll supply it. The project itself will be a success by filling a void in the current real estate market, and that’s a fact! Read the proposal and promotional materials–they will settle any lingering anxieties one may have a bout moving ahead.

In short, we are poised to begin a lucrative project. Let’s get going! Now!
