So, the parking lot is blocking access to the loading area? Why is the truck taking the blame?
Uh-huh. What's the word for someone who exhibits willful misunderstanding?
Faldage?
/snicker
Uh-huh.
So lessee, how could I have worded it so y'all couldn't possibly distort the meaning. The original was:
"There is a red Ford pickup truck in the parking lot blocking access to the loading area."
How about :
"There is a red Ford pickup truck blocking access to the loading area in the parking lot."
No, that makes it sound like the loading area is in the parking lot.
How about:
"In the parking lot there is a red Ford pickup truck blocking access to the loading area."
Well, that's a little awkward, isn't it.
How about:
"There is a red Ford pickup truck in the parking lot blocking access to the loading area."
Yeah, that's it. Wait a minute, that's the original. Hmm.
And who's blaming anyone, or thing?
