'Not' is not 'is'. 'Is' is 'is'; 'Not' is 'not'. is it not?   Best I could come up with, lemme know. IP Logged Gareth Pearce Guest Re: MED: Punctuation   « Reply #1 on: Jul 28th, 2002, 6:22pm » Quote Modify Remove i like my solution here "is is not not not is not is is is" is not "is not", is it not?   maximal cheating (well i havent found anything with more cheating) IP Logged Brett Danaher Guest Re: MED: Punctuation   « Reply #2 on: Jul 31st, 2002, 6:37am » Quote Modify Remove Here's an interesting alternative...  Mine is a bit more Shakespearean, is it not?  Ha - not it is.  Anyway, here's my solution.     is ‘is not’ not ‘not is’? 'not is' is. ‘is’ is not ‘is not’, is it not?   Actually, the last question there might be a little funny, since usually when you ask "is it not?" you are trying to confirm a positive statement, not a negative one.  But it basically works.

"Not is" is "is"; "is not" is "not," is it not?   I cheated in that everything in quotes I pretended to be a noun of some sort, which could be reworded like,     Is Brad not Steve? Steve is short; Brad is tall, is [he] not? IP Logged Mongolian_Beef Newbie     Posts: 11 Re: MED: Punctuation   « Reply #4 on: Aug 13th, 2002, 9:48pm » Quote Modify Is is not not. Not is not is.
