Discount

"Ma, bayad. Isang citizen, isang hindi."

Wow, Philippine citizens get a discount when they ride the jeep. Now, I hope that was true. They passenger omitted the word senior to leave citizen as the only word. It should have been senior citizen. If you analyze the situation by syllable, senior has 2 syllables while citizen has 3. It is only now that I realized that maybe, the old woman wanted to avail herself of the rightful discount without acknowledging her age. Hmph! What is wrong with being old anyway? For one, it is a sign that one has a certain skill to be able to reach such an age. Maybe she wasn't educated enough. If she was, then she'd think twice of omitting much to the point of risking clarity.
