Uh, restart.
Dammit, this is hard.
Let's see.
> I didn't like what he was saying.
We can paraphrase it as
> I didn't like his speech.
But can we say
> % I didn't like his speech that he was saying.
as the template in CGEL suggests?
Feels weird.
Likewise, can we say
> I didn't like the answer to the question "what was he saying?".
This is such a headache.
Wait a minute, maybe this is an ambiguous case.

@snailboat It's the whole chapter?
I just skimmed through 2 or 3 pages, haha.

No, I'm just doing something else right now and figured you could find the exact page number using the table of contents.
 
It might be since I'm generally in a O_O mood today.
I'm getting some sleep. Hopefully I'll be less O_O tomorrow. G'night guys
