Punctuate this!

That that is is that that is not is not.


How would this be properly punctuated?

~Hat tip to Mart over at the NFP board.

That that is, is that that is not, is not.

That's my guess!!! LOL Perhaps it needs a semicolon in there somewhere, or a dash or two.

Microsoft Word changes it to: That is that that is not is not. Shrug. Do YOU have the answer.

Hmmm....yours sounds a bit like some sort of a philosophy. DS says it sounds like a Yoda philosophy.

You are right about the semicolon, BTW. I'll see if anyone else tries it before I post the answer. :)

That that is, is; that that is not, is not.

(Your tip gave it away.)

I agree with "and also with you". And DS is right, I think is does sound like something Yoda would say. Appropriate for me, eh?

Yep! "and also with you" is right!

Dymphna's favorite quotes


"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark
