Try: "uoy dluohs tup ti no eciwt". Much better. 8-)

What about the first sentence (the question)? Should I put "on" behind "T-Shirt"? It seems in this case "on" will be very far from "put".

It's quite correct as is. Anything else ends up being quite convoluted,

On a matter of (my) personal style I might have used "inside-out" and "inside-in", as I think it makes the _state_ of the garment more apprent. It's
kind of a mental 'N.B' (Latin) ... "uh-oh, it's not just a string of words; this has meaning on which the question may depend". :)

Cheers,
Paul.

along the lines of "why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways", why do we commonly say "inside-out" and rarely say "outside-in"? ;) O:)

i kinda think it has something to do with alphabetical ordering...

kinda like me when i go to a resturaunt and they have more than two pages in their menus... too many choices so i sit for sometimes over an hour trying to decide while having a beverage or two and finally just end up paying for the beverages and having a bowl of popcorn at home... popcorn is one of my staples,
these days...

The answer: uoy dluohs tup no ti eciwt

This put me in the mind of a beautiful riddle by Martin
Gardner, in which a doctor must operate three patients using
only two pair of gloves. Any of the four people may be
infected with a virus that transfers at direct contact. The
operation must be performed with both hands, and all the
uninfected must remain so.

Hardly. Is rather mere euphony.

Hi, Paul! Recently you wrote in a message to mark lewis:

I kinda liked your 'right-side' thing but I would've

Ahh. You suggested hyphenating "inside out", and my CANADIAN OXFORD DICTIONARY agreed with you that the term should be hyphenated when used as an attributive adjective. Mark followed the same pattern in his examples. IMHO your initial reaction was quite correct... so why do things differently here?

You may not need to if, as Anton remarked, you're aware of the sound when various words are used together. I guess alphabetical order is probably the default in many cases, but native speakers also use expressions like:

hurdy-gurdy
itsy-bitsy
goods & chattels
lock, stock, and barrel
pomp & circumstance

... at least 4/5 of which were in common use before you & I were born. ;-)

You asked about the placement of an adverb, and Mark did what I would
have done by expanding on the concept... [chuckle].

The choice may be easier if you realize he is offering examples based
on the placement of two adverbs and adding the information that native speakers often prefer to say "right-side out" because that is how they were taught. :-Q
