Can anyone diagram that headline?
Thatâs it. Time for a constitutional amendment requiring that all future legislation be written in Lojban. The lawâs already opaque to most U.S. citizens; at least this way Congress would become a hostile environment for the rationally-challenged.
Thanks for that horrible flashback to seventh grade English class!!!
I think Iâm gonna need a euphemistic chaser after that trauma.
I saw a page written in it. Makes more sense than a page written in Lawyerglish; the latter has words that individually are mostly familiar but assembled together are virtually devoid of meaning.
Just imagine Yoda reading it. No, it doesnât make it make any more sense, but itâs not as brain-bending that way.
I canât even the whole thing.
I read it about 6 times hoping it would finally make sense. Nope.
Throw me down the stairs my hat.
âCourt has to diagram a lawâs tortured sentence structure in order to ruleâ
The âdiagramâ is just in the wrong place.
No, I think the original line is better. This is how linguistic evolution works point mutations and transposons and such.
I need a sentence diagram of the title. Just words in a random order arenât they? Is that the point?
I think itâs in Obverse Yodish, yes.
âLost my horn, lost my horn,
Found my horn, gorneâ
Brainf**k would be better. Or that rule of, who was it, the Persians? - that before a new law could be passed an old one must be abolished.
I had trouble with it too till I realized âdiagramâ is used as a verb. Then it made sense.
Which it isnât.
I read that title 5 times before I gave up, and then I got it. Could be written in a clearer way D:
I think you accidentally the title. Is that OK?
Being somewhat dyslexic, I didnât even notice anything odd about the title. My mind just rearranged the words into a sensible order. Does this mean I should have been a lawyer?
