Good point! I never ever thought of that, i.e., water possibly not being on a hillside. I have had and do have a spring on a hillside...Seems like an illogical location to expect to find water.
Excellent, thank you 009. Yea, twenty minutes, but it is kids stuff, and right up your alley. That is an extensive article, which I will certainly absorb.Jack and Jill (nursery rhyme) | Wikiwand
20 minutes ill never get back lol

Another INANE thread from DCM.Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water...
Am going somewhere with this as an exercise in simple language. This calls for infinite patience and, it will be fine for bullying members, who can only ever stupidly do personal attack and disparagement, to leave it alone, and take their endless hostility elsewhere because, it is a total downer.Another INANE thread from DCM.

it was interesting, yes, except there is no "rest of the story" like in most nursery rhymes as i guess no one knows for sure what it isExcellent, thank you 009. Yea, twenty minutes, but it is kids stuff, and right up your alley. That is an extensive article, which I will certainly absorb.
Yes, I read the article twice and learned a lot. I first encountered it in a first grade reader for little ones learning reading; it is literature for a child and/or minimally literate others.it was interesting, yes, except there is no "rest of the story" like in most nursery rhymes as i guess no one knows for sure what it is
But, why confuse the delivery of the prose if your intent is to convey a known specificity? (THE understood and identifiable hill)So, the presumption is that were searching for water in an essentially dangerous environ...
To make the verse as simple as we can I would edit it to read ''Jack and Jill went up the hill to get...'', which is plain and simple; 'to fetch' is far more complex and opens many contingencies.

I am intending to unwrap all that is mentally involved in the process of fetching or getting something, and think it simplifies things to say we want to get a particular intended objective rather than fetch our goal, in order to reduce any possible confusion and to entirely dispense with burdensome existentialist terminology.But, why confuse the delivery of the prose if your intent is to convey a known specificity?

But, you are the narrator, telling a tale to others. You are not just reporting on the news of the day.I am intending to unwrap all that is mentally involved in the process of fetching or getting something, and think it simplifies things to say we want to get a particular intended objective rather than fetch our goal, in order to reduce any possible confusion and to entirely dispense with burdensome existentialist terminology.
I have chosen the simplest of possible language vehicles, Jack and Jill, in order to boil considerations down to the bone and, permit all persons the opportunity to see what is involved in doing a human act, in plain English.
I am not at all concerned with the hill here.
