Sometimes we have a do do problem, too. I do do that, anyway.
Yes its called diarrhoea
Meanwhile me getting yelled at for using ð and þ
Shavian, right?
Edit: while some might think it nuts (it’s not like GBS was universally received, he was deliberately inconsistent), the idea of rebaselining phonetics from scratch was impressive.
I borrowed some ideas from it in how I use ðem, but ð letters are old english alphabet originals, same for ƿ but ðat would incur ð wraþ of even more annoying prescriptivists
The landlord of a pub called The Pig And Whistle asked a sign writer to make a new sign. When he saw it he thought that the words were too close together, so he said to the sign writer “I want more space between Pig and And and And and Whistle”.
Buffalo buffalo, Buffalo buffalo buffalo, buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
Inspired by the story, another landlord decides to name their pub “Pig and And and And and Whistle.” Lo and behold, the sign was cramped… Ther needed more space between Pig and and and and and And and And and and and and and And and And and and and and and Whistle.
You shut your whore mouth.
I think you or they added two extra ands, because the pub isn’t “Pig And And Whistle.”
Space between pig and and, and space between and and whistle
Yes but they have two too many, go count it.
(Pig and And) and (And and Whistle)
Ah see this one makes more sense but since it is a single sentence clause two of them are still redundant.
english is dumb. why do we say “hands,” but we don’t say “foots”? why does “goose” become “geese,” but “moose” doesn’t become “meese”? why is “led” the past tense of “lead,” but “red” is not the past tense of “read”? why don’t “good” and “food” rhyme? LIGHT becomes LIT, fight becomes FOUGHT. peek becomes peeked, seek becomes SOUGHT
i could do this all day, but i willn’t
English is three other languages in a trench coat
It annoys me so much when I feel I need to write a sentence like that that I go to great lengths to restructure sentences to avoid it.
…fuck
James, while John had had “had”, had had “had had;” “had had” had had a greater effect on the teacher.
Have fun. Or an aneurysm, whichever:
I don’t get it after the 2nd had, any chance someone else understands?
It needs a comma.
All the good faith I had had, had had no effect.
Essentially “all the food faith I previously had, didn’t have any effect”.
Good God English is an awful language.
I always read “read” as “read” but now everything’s different.
Read rhymes with lead the same way read rhymes with lead.
You can create a sentence with an infinite number of “police”
Who polices the Police?
Police Police police Police.
Who polices the Police Police?
Police Police Police police Police Police.
And so on…
Who polices the Police?
🤷 Coastguard?
Plot twist: There is no police police. ACAB
Live footage of me reviewing a report that has a repeated word series like this:
I showed my teacher a flork and now she loves them
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
