That that is is that that is not is there is not that that is not. Or so it is said.

i was going to make an esolang joke, but apparently no one has been that much of a dick to actually name a toy programming language "English"

someone turn @accalia off and on again to see if it gets fixed

I think someone installed @xaade's AI into @accalia. It may need a little more than a reboot to fix...

I have an annoying co-worker who starts every other sentence with "The thing is is, is that blah blah..." My problem isn't just with the word "is" repeated three times, it's that he starts literally every other fucking sentence with that shit. Everything before "blah blah" could be removed without changing the meaning, and I could get back to ignoring him that much faster.

You got the subject wrong, philosophically if not grammatically (and I'm not the kind who edits subjects).
It should be: That that is is that that is not is there is not that that is not.

fixed?

Did you know? The sentence "Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo" is grammatically correct English. Incredible but true!

Wow, you managed to break Discourse so bad that it didn't notify me of the quote, nor did it detect a link to another thread!
Congratulation! A winner is you!
... no, actually, no one is really surprised, but holiday season and all, I wanted to make you feel good for a moment at least.

So, not only are you appropriating my logic, you're committing genocide against it.
I suppose my privilege will cause you to drink my tears should I complain.

________/ \ _____/ \ \______ ______/ \ \_______ _______/ \ / \ \ / \ / \ \ Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo
I mean, after that, I don't even know how the sentence could work. "Buffalo from Buffalo frequently buffalo buffalo from Buffalo that other buffalo from Buffalo buffalo." seems like the limit to this insanity. Coming up with more insane structures is fun, though, so I'd be glad to hear any way you can expand it, or any other word that is a collective noun, proper noun, and verb.
I feel like The Wheel of
Monotony and Awful Characters Who Hate EachotherTime had a place called Tear, which would almost work, but the plural of tear is tears.

I once proposed a new computer language named Ambiguity. All programs consisted of:
do it;
do
- whatever you want
it
- whatever you want
;
- statement terminalBNF:
program ::= whitespacedo
whitespaceit
whitespace;
whitespace

But.... but... I need to be able to tell it to !

But.... but... I need to be able to tell it to !
I'm sorry, but is not possible in Ambiguity. Guess you'll just have to punt.
