   Hi! Alexander,   
      
   On 16 Sep 19 13:42, you wrote to me:   
      
    AK>>> How can you put on a turned inside out T-shirt correctly without   
    AK>>> turning it inside in beforehand?   
    AK>>> The answer: uoy dluohs tup no ti eciwt   
    AK>>> ;-)   
    PQ>> Try: "uoy dluohs tup ti no eciwt". Much better. 8-)   
      
    AK> What about the first sentence (the question)? Should I put "on" behind   
    AK> "T-Shirt"? It seems in this case "on" will be very far from "put".   
      
   It's quite correct as is.  Anything else ends up being quite convoluted,   
      
   On a matter of (my) personal style I might have used "inside-out" and   
   "inside-in", as I think it makes the _state_ of the garment more apprent.    
   It's kind of a mental 'N.B' (Latin) ... "uh-oh, it's not just a string of   
   words; this has meaning on which the question may depend".  :)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
