The phrase I type most (and therefore write most) in the world is: explain the discrepancy. Nevermind why that's so, but I type the phrase so often that it's become talismanic, each motion of my fingers needed to type the phrase now encoded in my body memory, so that I can write it unthinkingly, unhesitatingly. Even when I am called upon to pronounce the phrase, each word seems to have an odd weight. I am forced to conclude that if I were lowered into an existantial netherworld wherein I might commune directly with whatever uncaring and indifferent forces happen to oversee the universe, I would not ask "Why?" or even "How much wood could a woodchuck . . ." Nope. Instead, I would be yelling, "EXPLAIN. THE. DISCREPANCY."
