that looks like it might be the one..

when i was in jr. hi we learned an
experimental language program that
was based on a visitor from another
planet who was trying to analyze the
earthling language and the nouns were
calle "1's" and verbs were "2's" and
adjectives were called 3's and adverbs
were 4's or the other way around..

i have been confused ever since...
the program was soon discontinued
and those of us who learned it were
left to our own devices about how
to transfer the terms we had learned
to the "real" world definitions.
