Hello, I'm Susan, also known as Poozel.
I love language..so much.
I found a segment written by a very clever person...not sure who...about four friends named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. The paragraph is fabulous...check it out by clicking here..
I thought it would be fun to write sequels... more adventures of these fine four friends.
Using the words Everybody,Somebody,Anybody and
Nobody as the names of four individual people, can be a bit confusing. There are two ways of interpreting the sentences. It is rather like an optical illusion...click... Do you see the profile of a woman or a child wearing a coat entering a cave.
These stories are verbal illusions in a way. If you say, for example, "Nobody disagreed," it can mean, as we would usually think, all the people were in agreement. However, if Nobody is the name of a person, and Nobody disagreed, it means that this individual, named Nobody, did not agree with the idea proposed. These stories require careful attention to wording.
