Interesting. I have been using this sentence
since at least 1961 and always in the form I
gave. It is possible that I got it aurally
rather than in written form and misheard, but no
one has called me on it before. I don't remember
where I heard it but presumably either from
Carnap (who had an accent after all) or in a
Linguistics class. In any case, what the word
actually is makes no significant difference,
since, for all we can find out, pywates and
pirots are the same things.
