@thor id be curious to have an example of a sentance where read is ambiguous.

@freemo

"you read it many times"

so, wait...

are you saying that one tends to read it many times over?

or are you saying that i went over it many times over?

@freemo @thor “you read it many times” - a native English speaker usually wouldn’t say it that way, it would either be “you have read it many times”, “have you read it many times?”, or “you have to read it many times”,

@Vedrfolnir @thor

Yea i just cant think of a way to make it ambiguous without having an improper sentance

@freemo @Vedrfolnir how dare you suggest that the Bard would fail an English exam?

@thor @freemo haha, I’m a native English speaker but I absolutely hated English class in school.
