The first one I would think they were just kind of atypical at writing, like: "congrats," I said. As if they were writing a story.
The "your" is the most harsh, haha.
I read them as following:
"I" never said we should kill him.
Someone else said it.
I "never" said we should kill him.
I didn't say it.
I never "said" we should kill him.
I just thought it.
I never said "we" should kill him.
Someone else ought to.
I never said we "should" kill him.
It's just a possibility.
I never said we should "kill" him.
What did we do? We could have given him cookies.
I never said we should kill "him".
Someone else though.
The third one can be inferred as "I didn't say the words" as I inferred it.
Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?
The said thing can also mean you heavily implied it, but never said it. Alex Jones relies on that a lot, saying he never encourages offensive violence, then goes on diatribes about how you're already under attack and they're coming to kill you now and yes God should be the one to kill them bur also God uses men as instruments of his will so maybe if you feel like you're an instrument of God's will you're probably right.
Also the version I learned was:
"I never said he stole my money."
In this version every one of them gives the idea that the accusation of stolen or somehow maligned property occurred, except in the case of never. That one is just straight up denying most of it.
I got stuck on "should", this helped.
clever!
did anyone else read them all aloud?
Hope you didn't do it in public?
I kinda mumbled them at first, but I must have had too much fun and said the last one too loudly, because now the TSA would very much like to know who my intended assassination target is, who got killed in stead and whether I have any bottles of liquid.
Quietly byt audibly while sat in the office scowling at my computer.
I didn't not read them all aloud.
So... you did?
Yes
Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
Show someone 100 years ago that this is something someone wrote with full seriousness, and that it's grammatically correct. I wonder what they would think of us and our state of language.
Mark Twain would probably applaud the cleverness
Yeah go lie to someone in the past to make them mad about the future.
How much is the prize of this slot combination?
1,000,000 buffalo
Doing the same for the phrase "I didn't say you were stupid" is a common rhetoric exercise.
I didn't steal a hydrogen bomb.
i read bomb as bong and had a double take
Joke on "importance of proper stress/emphasis" with original phrase "I never said she stole my money". One of the cooler parts of languages like English.
Why did I read every line out loud in my head?
It's impossible not to.
Why would Jerry bring anything?
maim hurt punish but i never said kill that kids is what you call plausible deniability
“Let’s eat, grandma!”
