Relax this is about word boundaries
can you understand it
is not an original example, word boundaries is relationship to poetry, I've not seen discussed.
can you understand it
in normal conversation often sounds like this:
canyou /understan/ dit
means Kenyu is a friend of yours
can/ you /understand/ it
means you is a foreigner
can/ you/ understan/ dit
means you is an idiot
canyou /understand/ it
means it is friggin' weird
can/ you/ understand/ it
means you are a grammarian talking in a vacuum
so much for the fixity of things, eh?
