odd sentence structures

Post by Tyghress »

In PM I noticed that I had a string of two letter words....how many two letter words can you string together within a single grammatical, untortured sentence? (Please no: do re mi...)

My best shot will be added later in the thread.

Question about the rules: Does the ENTIRE sentence have to consist only of two letter words, or can one or more larger words be used as connectors or terminators?

We do it or Al or El do it.

So it is an ax or it is an ox or it is no ax or ox.

My sentence had non-two letter words as terminators....but it wasn't tortured at all....

"So, to do no good was okay."

...or something along those lines...I think I also noted that all my words were xO...but it just got me wondering.

So Al, me, my ox, go to FL, as Ed, Em, go to NY.

I know, I know proper names and abbreviations, but it is almost a sentence a human would use, and with enough proper names, stretches out to infinity. There must be some place names that are also two-letters but most would not be recognizable.

Others that come to mind are Moses Malone (basketball player) saying Fo' fo' fo' (slang for four, four, four). Po' for poor is another abbreviation to sneak in under the limbo bar.
