Word games


"Change you can believe in!"


I just noticed something. If you say "Change that you can believe in!", the word change is quite clear. But if you use the elided form, "Change you can believe in!" the g and the y, no longer separated by "that", he phrase becomes indistinguishable from "Chains you can believe in!"

Try it yourself. Say it aloud both ways.

Hmmm.
