My nephew introduced me to "garden path sentences," sentences that are gramatically correct but sound awkward until properly analyzed. Β Wikipedia has an article on them. Β An example is "The old man the boat." (think of "old as a noun and "man" as a verb. Β Anyone have other examples (more can be found on Wikipedia)?
