Hey Pandas, If My Mom Reverses The Order Of A Phrase Will That Make It Mean The Opposite?
So disclaimer, yes, I know that changing order can change what a sentence means. But I don't think it does in this case. So there's a phrase "Sisters by chance, friends by choice." Which makes sense. She switched it to "Friends by choice, sisters by chance," Because one of my friends has moved in with my family and we're besties+sisters now. I don't understand how it's different, but she yelled at me for saying they meant the same thing. Saying how I always contradict her and I'm "just always right about everything" (sarcastically). I was just trying to ask how it was different and now she's mad :(

I think she only got angry because she was trying to be funny and you didn't take it as a joke? Maybe... hard to tell not having witnessed it. Sorry she yelled at you though!
(Also, from what you wrote, she did not change the meaning of the sentence at all, she switched the order of the two sentences but not the words within the sentence, lol)
