Thank you We sneak And here's your smoke du jour

00:05

brought to you by archaeologists whenever they suffer a setback

00:09

in their research efforts there usually good about just testing

00:13

themselves off and trying again Turn that frown upside Alright

00:18

Rock art vandalism read This doesn't time given grand canyon

00:22

park I get it and cool and here we go

00:28

How would you change the bolo underlying portion of the

00:32

passage if it all you're not supposed to do And

00:36

here the potential answers and boy can tell you they

00:42

that phrase felt weirder than a mouthful of marbles and

00:44

as weird goes a mouthful of marbles is pretty high

00:47

up there so we're feeling confident something's gonna have to

00:50

be done about it but let's read the original sentence

00:52

first before we do anything rash here it is in

00:54

short for reasons both cultural and legal it is something

00:58

you're not supposed to do All right if you say

01:00

it quickly enough it sounds like in my fly but

01:02

using the word sub suppose in this sense without attacking

01:06

a d on the end that was common pitfall the

01:09

phrase is supposed to not supposed to even if they

01:15

do sound similar when spoken aloud and really fast We

01:19

need the past participle if we're using the passive voice

01:21

which we are and in this instance that's the word

01:24

supposed it so we're not supposed to use the phrase

01:27

supposed to No we just make it work anyway answer

01:31

a campy right let's keep our options open Well since

01:34

we've already established in the correct phrase is supposed to

01:38

it can't be you're not supposedly to do it is

01:43

more awkward than showing up but what you've been told

01:46

New beach it's No time for a change in the

01:49

word into an adverb so we can next b all

01:51

right is c right Should we drop the do hey

01:55

you got to do that would kill us all Dog

01:58

common club No uh we need to do without it

02:01

We don't have a verb and without a verb we

02:03

don't have a complete sense So as the ad execs

02:06

and pepsico would say do the do yeah you're welcome

02:09

for the advertising guys that was free option d you're

02:13

not supposed to do is the way to go here

02:15

It keeps the verb and uses the right form of

02:18

supposed and that means a marble free mouth On an

02:22
