He actually had serious intentions in creating that sentence. Chomsky is a linguistics prof. at MIT. He said that to demonstrate that meaning and syntax are indepentdent of one another.
And it worked!
Specifically, it was an example of a sentence that was perfectly correct in every particular according to the rules of grammar, but conveyed no coherent meaning.

It's all right. We celebrate the day that European settlers decimated this country's indigenous population in late January. We'll have our turn. ;)Quote:

How very original.
Somehow methinks it will never be called "Mass Genocide of Native Peoples Day".
:mad:
Yeah, I am. Fair call.
But at least I have an attractive head!

January, January.........what season is it in Australia in January?
I mean, does your "Australia Day" conspicuously fall right around the time opportune for a harvest festival. Almost as though your government took a pre-existing holiday and turned it into propaganda?
'Cuz ours does.
Not exactly. January is high summer. It's hot as a b@stard here in Jan.Quote:
