The phrase "edited it" is soo weird to pronounce

  Much more straightforward in British English where d and t are more distinct

  I think European Union is weird with some accents. It sounds almost like “Europinyinyinyin”

    I am not sober. I just had far too much fun saying “europinyinyinyin” out loud over and over again, so thank you for that. :)

    I think I have some extended family who probably say it similarly to that, too. Probably the ones from the deep south.

      I’m happy you like it, it’s been stuck in my brain for months and I still think it’s a bit funny.

      I’m glad to see someone’s made this because it’s been bouncing around in my head for ages but I’ve never got around to putting it together and letting it out.

    That’s just, like, Europinyin, Man.

  Or this monster:

  James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher

    The fact that that sentence can even be considered in any way correct is a fucking travesty

    source

    • alquicksilver@lemmy.world ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I would argue that, without the punctuation, it’s not technically correct. The references to James and John saying “had had,” at least, should be in quotes. Additionally, unless broken up with a semicolon or a period before the final four “hads,” it’s a run-on sentence.

      If you change the “hads” that mean provided/said in the context of the sentence (excluding the quoted ones), you could write it as:

      James, while John had [said] “had”, had [said] “had had”; “had had” had [provided] a better effect on the teacher.

      And though it doesn’t flow right to me to have James and his action verb split by a phrase about John, I’m not sure that’s incorrect. Phrasing it to fix the flow, for me, would be:

      While John had [said] “had”, James had [said] “had had”; “had had” had [provided] a better effect on the teacher.

    The fact that five of the “hads” are not semantically the word “had” but rather a quotation makes this one weaker than “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo” imo, though you could argue that Buffalo as a proper noun is also kinda cheating.

    That’s plain ol’ fucking stupid.

  • khepri@lemmy.world ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yeah, these are really silly if you can use quotes or like place/person names. Like if my Dad named Had lived in a town called Had Had, and his favorite thing to say was “had had had”…it just becomes like stupid to say that’s some crazy example of a grammatical sentence even if it technically is.

  I know a sound engineer named “ed”. And he does a lot of “editing”.

  Who changed the vocals? “Ed edited it”
