My dust-bin eloped with my boyfriend

does this even make sense ..
it will once u read the whole post..

I am doing my graduations in Arts - English Literature, part of the course is English in India. We have this excellent Phonetics professor teaching us a part of English in India, which consitutes Phonetics, Semantics and English as a language, how it has developed etc etc.

Today we were talking about English and how it became a Universal Language...students came up with points like Easy to understand, lack of inflexions, Word order ... and he started with his explanations..

Word order with relation to the language means that words make sense in a sentence only when they are placed in the right position, and english is unique in the sense that words in a particular phrase can't be put in other way because then the meaning of the whole sentence changes...things like verb phrases, noun phrases, adverbial phrases make sense only when put in a particular order...

it is interesting to know so much about english and its universal nature, but with a lively professor it becomes all the more fun ..

waiting for his next bunch of jokes ..

till then TATA
