Anaphora is the repetition of the same words or phrases at the beginning of a line. The use of the term "anaphora" as a term to describe the substitution of words or groups of words in a phrase is outdated.
I wasn't aware that my use of the term was outdated, but I wouldn't put it past my high school to use old texts to save money. I'll concede this point. Touché.
You can't possibly look at "I'd totally tap that" as a general acclamation anyway;
I disagree, and I don't quite follow the logic explaining it.
she specifically stated she spoke of the situation just so she could say "I'd tap that", showing the phrase was directly linked to the preceding sentence.
I agree with this much. "A drunk girl in a room full of guys" and "I'd totally tap that" are related.
"That" was obviously used as a pronoun for "a drunk girl" in this scenario, albeit accidentally.
I don't see that as "obvious." If she used "I'd totally tap that" as a general acclamation she would be referring to the entire situation. If she meant "I'd have a sexual encounter with that" then yes "that" would refer to "a drunk girl." Both can be valid antecedents, depending on what she meant by "I'd totally tap that."
To me the obvious meaning was a general acclamation.
What she needed to do was add "if I was a guy" to the end of her sentence to clarify overall meaning.
That'd change the meaning, though. As a non-guy she could very well approve of the described situation. It's an amusing image. Perhaps she should have said "I approve" instead of "I'd tap that." While she may not like saying it as much, it would be clearer.
EDIT: Okay she explained and your interpretation was correct. I stand defeated. gg.
Do you have another shirt I can sign for grammar fights? Although this was more of an interpretation issue than grammar... an interpretation shirt then?
