"Should one dance to the Bach Dance Suites?" "Were the Bach Dance Suites intended for dancing occasions? "Perchance upon a pretty lass / when all you've got is a good Bach polonass / what's a lad to do / but to run the whole suite through?" ... I should probably get some sleep XD

Or, may I suggest, "Were they meant to be danced to, the bach suites? do I win something? This thread is all tommyrot and twaddle up with which I will not put!

Most folks just try to rearrange the words, but it's usually easy to just change the words. For instance, instead of saying "for what" as opposed to "what for", you can simply ask "why".
