I don't know, but, it's going to need a tentacularium, not a barn, and I suspect milking it will be an udder disaster.
«Differences between Big-Endians, who broke eggs at the larger end, and Little-Endians gave rise to six rebellions: one Emperor lost his life, another his crown. The Lilliputian religion says an egg should be broken on the convenient end, which is now interpreted by the Lilliputians as the smaller end. Big-Endians gained favor in Blefuscu.» J. Swift, 'Gulliver's Travels,' 1726CE

That is udderly ridiculous, and very fishy to boot.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
--Winston Churchill

I kept visualizing the offspring able to milk itself.
I blame you for that.

I see what I consider improper usage of the word "not" in a lot of writing these days, especially in news articles.
In the following, what do you think is more correct, grammatically speaking?
To say
a) "I'm going to not hit him."
or
b) "I'm not going to hit him."
I think (b) is correct. The first, (a) is a split infinitive and seems to imply you're going to do something else. Yet I see writing examples similar to (a) all over the place these days. Where did these people learn grammar?

Just use Dutch: Ik ga hem niet slaan.

...or German: Ich bin schlagen sie nicht!

I lived in München for six years and learned High German (Hochdeutsch) at a Swiss language school taught by a Venezuelan teacher (who spoke no English)!
Needless to say, I didn't understand half of what the locals said since they all spoke Bayerisch!
For Example:
- "I mog Bier!"
...instead of...
- "Ich möchte ein Bier, bitte!"
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Though I disagree with your reasoning, B is better for that particular sample set.
And bear in mind that I have no idea what a split infinitive is.
I have found that many people put the word "only" too early in many sentences.
Compare:
Only I will hit him
I will only hit him.
I will hit only him.
On the other hand...
God only knows.
Only God knows.
|
|
|
|

...and then there is inflection; the way you say something.
For example:
- "This is a fine country we live in!"
Depending upon how you say it it can mean the exact opposite of another way of saying the same words!
Whoever said English was an easy language?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Quote: split in·fin·i·tive
noun
a construction consisting of an infinitive with an adverb or other word inserted between to and the verb, e.g., she seems to really like it.
Basically, an infinitive is the "whole word" or the basic form of the word, so "to run", "to sing", "to bleat", "to see" --- the "to" is part of the word. Consequently, putting a word between "to" and "run" such as "to not run" splits the infinitive and confuses the meaning.
In each of your "only", the meaning is clear; "Only" applies to the word immediately following. Unless it doesn't as when there's a comma, in which case it applies to the preceding word.
God only knows.
God, only, knows.

Surely "I am not going to punch his elephanting lights out" is more correct.
