*attempts to parse EP's sentence*

 

 

your name is now eddy i was decreed somewhere or something, didn't you get the memo?

 

'your' - possessive adjective

'name' - noun

'is' - verb; third person singular conjugation of 'to be', simple present tense

'now' - adverb

'eddy' - proper noun, without a capital letter

'i' - first person pronoun

'was' - verb, first person singular conjugation of 'to be', past tense

'decreed' - verb, past tense

'somewhere' - adverb

'or something' - meh

, - signals dependent clause

'didn't you' - contraction of 'did you not'

'you' - second person pronoun

'get' - verb, meaning 'receive'

'the' - definite article

'memo' - noun.

 

 

Hmm. Since that doesn't help, some attempts to punctuate the sentence and make sense of it follow:

 

1) Your name is now Eddy. I was decreed somewhere or something, didn't you get the memo?

 

2) Your name is now "Eddy I was decreed somewhere or something", didn't you get the memo?

 

3) Your name is now "Eddy I was decreed somewhere", or something, didn't you get the memo?

 

4) Your name is "Now eddy I was decreed somewhere or something", didn't you get the memo?

 

5) Your name is "Now eddy I was decreed somewhere", or something, didn't you get the memo?

 

 

Since the first makes little sense, I think that, logically, it must be one of the latter four. I don't think either of those names work; I prefer 'Ed'.
