MrKontrovErsy:

SO IM SAYING THAT U MIGHT HURT UR SELF AS U ARE TRYING TO BE FAST.....
MOST ROAD ACCIDENTS ARE CAUSED BY UNNECESSARY SPEED BY AS THEY ARE TRYING TO REACH THEIR DESTINATION ON TIME..

I HOPE U GET MY POINT

I guess. though I doubt it means what you think it does

Donfamous: u're confused here.

No he is not

Donfamous: u're confused here.

nedu2000: I like your modified version but your version is quite obvious

Robbing peter to pay paul.

VIPICO: The OP is not confused. That's the correct saying. I know you expected to read "You can eat your cake and have it". But the latter is wrong while the former is right. Research.

OP was right...It is You Can't Have your cake and eat it.- the main reason why the quote was included in the first place is because its one that always generate controversy even this thread already proves it coz it sounds counterintuitive..
OP is NOT confused in anyway most ppl often think literarily it should be the reverse, albeit they are very wrong.
Your cake can NOT be existing 'uneaten'...(Have)
and simultaneously be existing 'eaten' (Eat).
The quote is depicting two opportunities that are NOT mutually exclusive. It is not explaining Order!
People confuse it for what it is NOT..."order of eating" nd in that regard.... 'You can Not Eat Your Cake and THEN Have It' will make sense.
