re: #264 Throbert McGee

Note that answers are different for both “streaming” and “bursting,” however!

If you really want to give your students a headache, ask your students to identify the function of “swimming” in the following two sentences:

The photographer took a picture of the swimming pool.
The photographer took a picture of the swimming woman.

Of course! The former is a verb and the latter participle—they’re getting to that next week, too.

I like your “swimming” riddle. I’m going to start class with that on Monday!
