Grammar Question

[Drakon]

"She wore an itsy-bitsy teeny-weenie yellow polka dot bikini..."

Now, I'm not sure, but isn't it supposed to be that the bikini has yellow polka dots, not that the Bikini itself is yellow with polka dots?

It looks more like a Syntax Question to me...

 

[unstoppable]

I've been tryin to figure that out for a long time

 

[The Comedian]

I always took it as implying that the bikini itself was yellow, whilst the dots were of a different color, at least when sung. When written, a comma would fix that wouldn't it?

[Iglius]

Thanks for killing my brain.

What about the one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater? Is he purple, or does he eat purple people?

Very much, hence my marking this as a grammar question.

"She wore an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weenie, yellow, polka dot bikini..."

"She wore an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weenie, yellow polka dot bikini..."

I guess this stresses grammar. Capitalization works the same way.

"I had to help my uncle Jack off a horse earlier."

"i had to help my uncle jack off a horse earlier."

What about the one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater? Is he purple, or does he eat purple people?

Damn you. That was my next thread.

 

[The Comedian]

He looks fairly friendly for something that eats people.

 

[Kmack]

Now when I hear that song I will forever think about you Drak


Thanx a lot!

Well according to Microsoft Word Grammar and Spell check, that sentence is correct.

 

[SuperFerret]

Damn you. That was my next thread.

It was a question that needed to be asked.

Damn you. That was my next thread.

Your threads would have been merged anyway......

 

[Drakon]

Well according to Microsoft Word Grammar and Spell check, that sentence is correct.

Of course, it's right. The question, more specifically, was

"She wore an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weenie, yellow, polka dot bikini..."

OR

"She wore an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weenie, yellow polka dot bikini..."

Your threads would have been merged anyway......

Not by you!

 

[The Comedian]

There's a yogurt commercial with the song in it, it is revealed that the bikini is yellow, whilst the dots are not.

 

[Kelly]

Of course, it's right. The question, more specifically, was

"She wore an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weenie, yellow, polka dot bikini..."

OR

"She wore an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weenie, yellow polka dot bikini..."



Not by you!

You're right, I would IM you, and you would merge them...................t:

 

[Keyser Sushi]

This reminds me of that book:

Eats shoots and leaves.

Eats, shoots, and leaves?

Or eats shoots, and leaves?

Difference between a psycho and a giant panda.

 

[The Lizard]

There's a yogurt commercial with the song in it, it is revealed that the bikini is yellow, whilst the dots are not.

True enough, although it could be argued that in that yogurt commercial the bikini depicted is neither "itsy-bitsy" nor "teenie-weenie".

 

[Drakon]

Touché, Teacher.

There's a yogurt commercial with the song in it, it is revealed that the bikini is yellow, whilst the dots are not.

The commercial is just an interpretation, though.

 

[FunBobPants]

alright, everybody know that song. "Out of the sky came a one-eyed, one-eared flying purple people eater"

alittle confusion on my part. is it supposed to imply that he is purple and he eats people or that he eats purple people

 

[odiin]

It's supposed to imply that you, yes you, are made of "suck" and "die."

 

[FunBobPants]

O Rly?

 

[odiin]

Yes, really.

REALLY really.
