Is this sentence correct? Does it make sense?
Anything can be said about you, but not that you're not funny.
Top answer
Strictly speaking "anything" would include "you're not funny"; in any case, "anything" seems too all-encompassing for any one person. I suggest instead: Many things / A lot of things can be said about you, but not that you're not funny. Many things / A lot of things can be said about you, but it can't be said that you're not funny.
