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: Quote: "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?
