7 Letter Replacement
Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
The ******* doctor said "I think ******* Seaman Jones will have to wait as I am ******* to do the operation as there is *******."
Exchange the stars with the same seven letters in the same order in each case.
HintYou can place spaces between any of the stars.

| Haven't added comments for quite a while, but this deserves one. Nice Christmas present and even with the clue, which helped, you had me stumped. Excellent job. Merry Christmas, Jake and all of our Braingle friends.  |

| If you're going to have a hint, saying spaces was not enough; you needed to offer the possibility of punctuation as well. btw, the comma is misused after not; you needed a semicolon. And I'm not being nit-picky; punctuation is meant to aid in comprehension, and I don't think you intentionally meant to mis-lead us. |

| I might have figured it out, if I had looked at the hint. I've never done that, but I think I'm going to start! I hate it when I can't figure them out!  |

| Yes, that was a good one, but with your explanation, I had no idea what you wanted me to do. I thought maybe the high position of the stars had something to do with it.  |
