Why Cute Floral Wallpaper Makes A Comeback Every Spring

You never know, which is why. This is a common english phrase that i'm sure everyone has heard before. However, i find it puzzling.

Mar 16, 2011the usual order is "why is this not [ready yet]?" inverting it to "why is not this [rose in bloom]?" might be possible in poetry, but it sounds awkward at best in everyday usage. Its distribution is very limited -- it can only have the word reason as its antecedent, and since it's never the subject it's always deletable.
