Test Sentences, 69

Continuing with Gary’s list:

  1. Is today Monday?

Right. Let’s see. Let’s figure out orbital mechanics. Let’s figure out the periods of my three or four moons. Let’s decide how many moons I have. Let’s figure out a super cool calendar based on the various lunar cycles. Let’s make up names for different parts of the different cycles. Let’s chuck it all and go study for my Latin final instead. Besides, today is Thursday.

OK then. How about Is today {the day of the ceremony} or Is today {her birthday} (not that I am sure I have a word for birthday). Are those equivalent? I hope so.
