my tailor is rich
@fce you have a tailor? Fancy
@quinterbeck Haha omg no, I don't... just trying to see if anyone on here recognizes the sentence. It arose during a lunch conversation with a french and a spanish guy who both told me this was the first sentence they learned in english, and that it is quite a meme in their countries. It has a lot of hits on google btw :P
@fce It never even occurred to me it might be a meme! xD
I've never heard of this before - probably because I'm a native speaker of English - even though I know a lot of people who are English learners
@quinterbeck Nobody could guess that :D Also the person who wrote http://grape-journal.com/?p=403 seems to really have struggled with this
