Here’s a quote from the link provided by Ecstatic,

Neal Whitman, who blogs about language at Literal-Minded, spent some time trying to figure out Kilpatrick's reasoning. Mark Liberman, at Language Log, furnished examples of famous writers flouting Kilpatrick's dictum, back to Shakespeare's "All that glisters is not gold." They could find no evidence that English speakers are confused by constructions like "not available in all areas."
So why do people claim befuddlement? I guess they're looking for trouble.

Mia culpa! Generally I don’t find such constructions confusing, though being technically trained, the ambiguities in these constructions always stand out in my mind. I can forgive Shakespeare his use of poetic license. But then Shakespeare wasn’t overcompensating with Freudian overtones that all poets are not secret bottoms. I just saw an opportunity to cause a little mischief and gave into the impulse. Sorry.

That the height of a guy is an indication of the size of his dick.

That the height of a guy is an indication of the size of his dick.

If I may supplement that, the size of other body parts (feet, hands, et al) is an indicator of dick size.

LOL! "But then Shakespeare wasn't overcompensating with Freudian overtones that all poets are not secret bottoms." ROTFL!! Anyway, I had the same initial reaction that you did to that construction. I just think it's nice that we can break away from T&HA long enough to engage in a little grammatical discussion once in a while!

Now back to your regularly scheduled T&HA....

I really hope that you are joking about this one being a misconception. Otherwise, my five-year long campaign of PMing unsolicited genital pics to every transsexual woman on this forum will have been in vain. Damn it! Why didn't someone tell me this sooner?
