Ever wonder how writers come up<\/a> with saying such as, \u201cIt\u2019s better late than never\u201d? Well, let\u2019s consider juxtaposition. At some point in time, someone was probably running late and either could not contact the person waiting for them or was not able to do so. As a result, they arrived very late to meet a presumably very angry person. The culprit probably thought, \u201cWell, what can I say to that\u201d and out came, \u201cbetter late, than never\u201d to neutralize the situation.<\/mark>

While that\u2019s a very plausible explanation (and rather witty for being put on the spot), in writing, a bit more thought goes into such sayings. Writers often come up<\/a> with such phrases through careful consideration of what and how they wish to convey something through the combination of words and phrases seemingly unrelated. Enter juxtaposition.<\/mark><\/p>
