00Some of the lines are laudatory to the point of triteness ("I love you more than 02br

00I came across this thread, and Clive's post about ambiguity in sentence no.1 made me think of 05100about sentences like "I love her more than you". (I thought you might be interested in it. If you're not, please skip this post 05000 )010id1261hrefhttp://www.EnglishForward.com/English/IMe/zlpdg/Post.htmcanother discussion
