Yeah, but OP said I could remove as many "buffalo"s as I want and the sentence would still make sense. "Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo" does not make sense. Unless OP

Yeah, but OP said I could remove as many "buffalo"s as I want and the sentence would still make sense. "Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo" does not make sense. Unless OP was ignoring case which makes it all rather contrived.
...even more contrived.
- stephencanon 13y agoYes, ignoring case. There’s no case in spoken language, so that’s quite reasonable, really.

- jessaustin 13y agoYeah I think you have to ignore case. The only word that needs to be capitalized is the first one in the sentence.
- lotsofcows 13y agoWhat? No. The whole point is that the bison from Buffalo is bullying. If you ignore case it makes no sense. You can remove all the capital B-uffalos but you can't remove all the buffalos. Some nice random down voting going on. This moderation system is sooooo good.
- jessaustin 13y ago"Buffalo buffalo.": Ungulates bamboozle. Base case one. "Buffalo buffalo buffalo.": Ungulates associated with western New York bamboozle. Base case two. "X buffalo.": X bamboozle. Inductive case. From these we have: "Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo.": Ungulates bamboozled by ungulates, it turn bamboozle. "Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo.": Ungulates bamboozled by ungulates, in turn bamboozle ungulates. "Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo.": Ungulates associated with western New York and bamboozled by ungulates, in turn bamboozle ungulates. "Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo.": Ungulates bamboozled by ungulates, in turn bamboozle ungulates that are bamboozled by ungulates. It seems that only the N=6 case even requires a mention of the city. I upvoted you to help you feel better.
- lotsofcows 13y agoNice. And thanks for the upvote - I feel better now.
