semantic ambiguity occurs when at least two distinct meanings come from the same bit of language, for example
'security was asked to stop drinking on campus' or 'the president has never been a woman.' I find these situation both fascinating and sometimes hilarious. know any others? post'em for me. | |

Un Big Mac au boeuf à 100%.
C'est un cas classique. On s'imagine que la boulette est fait à 100% de boeuf mais McDonald explique que la partie boeuf de la boulette est 100% boeuf (comme la partie céréale est 100% céréale...) Légalement, ça fonctionne. Et ça trompe! | |
