It is still possible to write a short unique sentence in simple English that has never been composed before.

Posted on 06/08/2020 6:20:51 PM PDT by SamAdams76

26 letters in the English alphabet and so you would think that it is nigh impossible to compose a simple sentence in English that has never been composed before.

Well I am about to prove you wrong.

"In wartime, dark chocolate bars may be rationed, so it would be wise to purchase dark chocolate in bulk now."

Guaranteed that the sentence above, consisting of simple English words, has never been uttered or written before.

after watching some of the BLM speakers, I have heard not only words that are new but entirely new ways of composing sentence structures.

You’re right. I googed it. Couldn’t find it... A pretty good indication.

But you can make a game out of it: Try to come up with something Google can’t find... I came up with one on my very first try: “A drinking leaf trembles.” Google says it has never seen it. Not that it makes a lot of sense, but it’s not nonsense either. And it is grammatically correct and simple. I think a person could come up with things like this all day long.

So sure, I agree 100% with your premise.

Well... You have the bible... And pretty much everything since then has been a plagiarism of the bible.

You made the assertion; it’s up to you to prove yourself right.

We black activists repent of the lies we’ve told about that criminal George Floyd.

So? Just because something doesn’t appear in a Google search does not mean that it has never been written or uttered. Absence of proof is not proof of absence.

Just before he posted this, I sent the following note to Sam:

Hey! Sammy ol' boy! Tell all the Freepers this sentence was neither written nor spoken ever before! "In wartime, dark chocolate bars may be rationed, so it would be wise to purchase dark chocolate in bulk now."

He totally, TOTALLY fell for it, but what a good sport.

Actually, at this point in time, I’ll stick with the simplest multi-word sentence I have ever heard: “Jesus wept.”
