Ambiguity as well ...

" If you didn't say it I demand to know who did , as it's slur on the possible thiefs character " .

Innocent until proven guilty and all that .. But mud does stick

Your right Sally perfect script is neigh on impossible. I am dealing with an incredibly difficult family situation at present with a 40 year silence and it really needs everyone to assume good intentions when they read.

Whenever I am tempted to think I have scribed something so perfectly there is no way anyone could misinterpret it, I remind myself of this 7-word sentence and its 6 different meanings.

I never said he stole the money.

Now read it again, six times. Each time, stress a different word.

I never said he stole the money.

I never said he stole the money.

I never said he stole the money.

I never said he stole the money.

I never said he stole the money.

I never said he stole the money.

What are the six different meanings? I've been quoting it over and over for what seems like days and I still don;t see all the other meanings.

I'm sure there's different interpretations. Mine would be:
1) It wasn't me that said he stole it (someone else did?)
2) I did not say he stole it. (it's all a lie)
3) I didn't say it aloud (but I think he did)
4) I didn't say it was him (but someone did steal it)
5) he didn't steal it (just borrowed it)
6) It wasn't the money he stole (check the stock)
