tpg76 Nov 20, 2008	But what does your answer, "until death do we part" mean? I found that phrasing humorous, as it seems to have the opposite meaning of the more familiar, "until death do US part". That little word change makes a huge difference, I think - and maybe explains high divorce rates!
markmonnin Nov 20, 2008	I agree with tpg... I'm more familiar with "Until death do us part." Which is the same as "Until death parts us." Whereas "Until death do we part" sounds like "We part until death."
uhhhh Nov 20, 2008	Ewww, too confuzzling!
banana821 Nov 20, 2008	like evry1 else sed, it wouldve been easier as "til death do US part" but it was still a nice teaser
srpwuzhere Nov 23, 2008	easy teaser =D if you know marriage vows (which i do even though im like 12 [almost 13! xD]) then you would be able to get it. Good though!
bradon182001 Nov 25, 2008	Good rebus, Dan. It seemed easy to me, but rebus teasers are my favorite kind so maybe I concentrate on them more. Thanks for posting.
unklemyke Dec 02, 2008	OK, Kiddies, time to break out the old Grammar book! Dan, my man, "we" is just dead wrong! Wrong case, that is. "We" is in the subjective case, which means it can be used as the subject of a sentence, but NOT as an object. "Us"is in the objective case, which is the correct usage in "Until death do US part" because "us" is the object of the verb, "do part". Backto fourth grade for you, friend, until you get your pronoun cases straight!
toucan_dan Dec 02, 2008	I'm sorry. English isn't my first language and I have put in for a correction but there has been none.
bookworm91 Feb 05, 2009	Actually, this is technically grammatically correct. The common phrase is "Until death do us apart" (not "until death do us part"). What this sentence is saying is "We're parted until we die." So it's right, it's just not what we'd expect, which is an interesting twist.
Poogboy Apr 05, 2009	Nice.
TallTimber Mar 10, 2010	Good one.
