 Sinnes, Elizabeth, Sandra Gustafson, Karen Oswald, and others,
Thanks to your leads I was able to order some interesting$B!!(Jmystery  books.

I have a different topic today.


The following (1)(2)(3)(4) are the sentences where you have to know the
parts of speech to analyze the sentences. (5)(6) are the ones that can be
interpreted as two different meanings, although one of them is possible but
not probable. They are syntactically acceptable. Do you know of any other
variety of these kinds? My students find them both amusing and educational.
Sentences you have composed yourselves will be most welcome. (7)(8) the ones
I made. I$B!G(Jm not sure how they come across to you all.

(1)I think that that that that that wirter used is wrong.
(2)Give a little more space between king and and and and and queen.
(3) We eat all we can but what we can not we can.
(4)Can he can me for kicking a can?

(5)Time flies like an arrow.
(6)Fruit flies like a banana.

(7) These police police the police.
(8) My mother mothers her mother.

The sentences are targeted at upper intermediate and advanced students but
never at those in semantics major in graduate schools.
