It's just it's a really good question and I thought maybe @F.E. would write one of his excellent answers!! Or someone else, like you. But F.E.'s on strike at the moment :-) | |

| Jan 30, 2015 at 5:24 | comment | added | Ben Kovitz | @Araucaria I wrote an answer about unusual word orders here. The sources are nursery rhymes and Christmas carols, probably not the officialdom you're looking for, and it explains the reasons for and effects of unusual word ordering, not rules for when you can and can't do it, but you might find something interesting there. | |

Tweaked text and examples, and tags for subject-dependent inversion.

| Jan 28, 2015 at 11:07 | comment | added | Araucaria - Not here any more. | Hi Nima, your question had three close-votes and I think it's an excellent question. I've had a little edit to make it clear what the interesting problem is - and added a bounty. If you want to roll back the edits that's fine. Or you could just edit a full stop or something and my name will disappear from under your post. Nice question +1 :D | |

| Jan 26, 2015 at 17:17 | comment | added | Adam | Do you mean merry (happy, fun) or Merry (a name, like Frodo's hobbit pal from Lord of the Rings)? | |
| Jan 26, 2015 at 10:58 | comment | added | Avigrail | The second one is Yoda. | |
| Jan 26, 2015 at 9:32 | comment | added | CowperKettle | Do you mean merry in the adjective sense, "it is fun"? If not, you'd probably better capitalize the word. | |
