[Grammar] What if we are all part of a cow's dream

[Sneymarin]

Hello, I would like some help with the following sentence:

"What if we are all part of a cow's dream, and our universe is just imaginary and made by a cow, and when the cow wakes up we all disappear."

I think that "we are all" is wrong in this context and it should be "we all are", but I'm not sure. The above sentence is just a message sent in a chat and has no previous context.

Thank you for your time

We are all is the natural word order.

The proposal is udder nonsense, but I do hope its author has milked it for all it's worth.

Does "we all are" change the sentence's meaning? Or it has the same meaning as "we are all"?

Does "we all are" change the sentence's meaning? Or does it have [STRIKE]has[/STRIKE] the same meaning as "we are all"?

It means the same thing. Adverb placement is variable in English, but in this case, "we are all" is more natural.

Did you write this sentence yourself, Sneymarin?

No. It was a message sent in a Discord chat. I wanted to confirm wheter it was correct or not.

I wrote "The above sentence is just a message sent in a chat and has no previous context." in my first post. I thought it was enough to make it clear that I wasn't affiliated with sentence, but I'll be more specific next time, thank you :up:.

Your sentence made it clear it was a chat message but it didn't show whether you had written it or someone else had.
