Subject Verb Object, Right?
But we English speakers are rather used to other orders of those parts of speech. Third panel: For one thing, it’s not a sentence; no verb—all three words are nouns. So she read it as “Customers: do the appreciation today” or something like that. How would you re-word the sign?
He Got it Backwards
Well, maybe “backwards” isn’t quite right. Maybe “He got the wrong end” would be more precise. Second panel: Alliteration refers to the beginning of words. Rhyme involves the end of words.
Bad Palindromes
“Bad” in the sense that nobody says them. They still meet the definition of palindrome; the letters are in the same order both forwards and backwards. I like What Adam first said to Eve: “madam, I’m adam.” Note that it’s the order of the letters; spaces don’t count. Got a palindrome that you like?
An Unconventional Plural
“Foots” instead of “feet,” but maybe it makes sense… What do you think? Might there be a place for “foots”? What’s the plural of that mouse next to your keyboard?
