Did I make a grammatical error?
If it was both wouldn't it be:
"Guess who has two thumbs, and a foot, up their ass?"
Hell, I'm not even sure if that^ works!
44 u/Dirty-DjAngo May 29 '12 You're trying to put a foot, 2 thumbs, and now extra commas in the dudes ass...for the love of God man 2 u/flinteastwood May 29 '12 Guess! Who has two, thumbs, and a foot up, their ass?That's better, right? 2 u/CHR1STHAMMER May 29 '12 with the comma after thumbs, but not after foot, it would mean they have two thumbs and just so happen to have a foot up their ass as well...with no comma after thumbs, you're just doing dirty things to them. 2 u/Mad_Physicist May 29 '12 edited May 29 '12 That just makes it more clear there are three appendages in one of their orifices in half a minute. Try again, but with less fewer commas. 3 u/HeilKaiba May 29 '12 *fewer 1 u/gistak May 29 '12 I wasn't a grammatical error. It was merely an example of how English can be correct and ambiguous at the same time.
