X: “I love you madly.”
Y: “What did I do to make you mad?”
X: “Not mad. Madly. It’s an adverb used to qualify
how much I love you.”
Y: “Are you saying it’s over between us?”
X: “No. It’s not over between us. Wait a minute. It just occurred to me that ‘over between’ doesn’t actually make
sense in English. How can you be over
and between at the same time?”
Y: “So…you are mad at me because of
the way I speak?”
X: “Apparently, I am.”
