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.              ...
