Hi,
I have started this thread bcoz I have not found any for the "PUNCTUATION I" which is
Add punctuation to the following phrase to make something gramatically and logically coherent:
is is not not not is not is is is is not is not is it not[/font]
my suggestion is ,
| hidden: |
"is is not not not " is not "is is is is not is not is it not"

Is it: 'Is' is not 'not'. 'Not' is not 'is'. 'Is is' is not 'is not', is it? NOT!
Try this:
dear babu_km i want a man who knows what love is all about you are generous kind thoughtful people who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior you have ruined me for other men i yearn for you i have no feelings whatsoever when we are apart i can be forever happy will you let me be yours jill

I thought it was:
'Is' is not 'not'. 'Not' is not 'is'. 'Is' is 'is'. 'Not' is 'not'. Is it not?
Did you make the "dear babu_km" yourself? Very nice!

I wish I could claim that I did, but I didn't. I can't remember where I saw it.

Well, it's really no surprise you'd forget that after two years.. You didn't mention where you found it then either.

Lynne Truss uses it as an example in Eats, Shoots and Leaves (or is it Eats Shoots and Leaves?) but I think I recall her saying she got it from somewhere else in turn...

Unlike babu_km (who now goes by the name of Keyser Söze), I was aware that it had been posted before.

You can only believe i what you can prove, and since you have nothing proven to cmpare to, you can believe in nothing.
I have ~50 posts to hack a "R" into a "D". Which one?

He said, "said" but I said "but".
"But", he said, "I said 'said'".
But I said "But I said 'said'".
But the teacher said I said "said".
But I said "But I said 'but'".

Hmmm my take would have to be
He said 'said,' but I said 'but.'
But he said I said 'said,' but i said "but i said 'said!'" But the teacher said i said 'said,'
but i said "but I said but!"
