This is a question for the ages. If you can solve you will be immortalized as the king or queen of the forum for the year. I’m also willing to mail you out a nickel. It’s all I can afford this month, so I’m sorry.
Anyway, in the meatloaf song “I would do anything for love”, he repeatedly says “I would do anything for love, but I won’t do that.” He never tells us what “that” is.
I mean mine refuses to watch Real Housewives of Miami. He’s ungrateful. He says repeatedly that he “has standards” and I’m like “Oh please, you watch Babylon 5 like you have standards.”
It’s an unusual statement, and a problem for english grammar. He’s saying he would do anything meaning he’s willing to do any one thing, not everything or nothing, but any one thing for love, like fine ok killing for instance, but he wont do that. If he said I will do everything for love he would have to say so I must do those!
