""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
ASS:
Assume with a slight doubt that the proposition is correct.

You  drink  ASS  coffee
You do drink coffee, don't you?
== I assume you drink coffee (i.e., not tea), right?


In this sentence, `coffee' was marked by ASS. Please see the difference:

You  ASS  drink  coffee
You will drink (the) coffee, won't you?
You drink coffee, don't you? (You don't eat it, do you?)


To stress the second of the above interpretations, use a NEAR particle:

You  ASS  NEAR  drink  coffee
You drink coffee, don't you? (You don't eat it, do you?)
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

LOL !!!

"You  ASS  drink  coffee !!!
You will drink (the) coffee, won't you? " <- isnt it rather some
imperative ??? :-)

i call this usage of a "culturally fatal akronym" :-)

however i like the idea of an placing an YES/NO-question-particle
before the word which is emphasized.

regards,
c.
