Hey, grammar gestapo
Edited on Sun Jan-28-07 10:03 PM by GirlinContempt
"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo."















This is 100% perfect in every grammatical grammar gram.

4. The damning red text of an edit doesn't speak well for that.

8. Can someone diagram this sentence for me?
I can figure out the "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" (Subject + verb + Adjective + direct object)
but the rest eludes me.

Grammatical grammar is redundant, so while it may be grammatical, it's still bad rhetoric.
