minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink27•1 year agoIn today’s example of a garden path sentence …
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink12•1 year agoNever heard of garden path sentences before. Very neat! I loved the examples on the Wikipedia page. Eg. The old man the boat. It’s so short and I love it as the first example.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•1 year agoThat’s what irks me about this lazy dropping of the ‘of’ after ‘couple’ “I saw a couple birds” You saw them do what now?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•1 year agoMy first thought was ‘zombie work’ was a phrase for a job where you don’t have to think at all while doing it. Say a factory job like picking up rolls of tape and putting them in the tape dispenser.
