Greetings!
In one of my previous threads I found out that if we can say «X is that«, then it doesn’t mean we can say «X has it that«.
In this thread I’d like to find out whether the opposite change works. I mean:
If we can say «X has it that«, then does it mean we can say «X is that«?
For this purpose I’ve found some examples:
merriam-webster.com:
(1a) Word has it that the neighbors are moving next month.
forum.wordreference.com:
(2a) Tradition has it that the goddess lies sleeping beneath the mountain.
lexico.com:
(3a) The grapevine has it that the enemy is from within the camp itself.
My variants with «is» instead of «has it«:
(1b) Word is that the neighbors are moving next month.
(2b) Tradition is that the goddess lies sleeping beneath the mountain.
(3b) The grapevine is that the enemy is from within the camp itself.
Are the b-variants correct?
If they are, do they mean the same as the a-variants?
Thanks!

3b is definitely wrong, to the point of being nonsensical.
1b would be fine with «the word», meaning rumour, which is the same meaning as 1a.
2b would be correct English with «the tradition», but this conveys a different meaning, referring to a particular tradition, probably already mentioned. 2a refers to tradition in general, or folklore.
-
#3
(1b) Word is that the neighbors are moving next month.
1b would be fine with «the word», meaning rumour
That is, «the word» means «the rumour«.
(3b) The grapevine is that the enemy is from within the camp itself.
3b is definitely wrong, to the point of being nonsensical.
But «the grapevine» means «the rumour» too.
If «The word is that» were fine for (1b), meaning «The rumour is that«,
then «The grapevine is that» in (3b) has to be fine as well because it also means «The rumour is that«.
Why am I wrong?
Thanks!

the grapevine» means «the rumour» too.
No, the grapevine isn’t the rumour — it is the method through which the rumour gets around. You say something to your granny and your cousin finds out. How did she find out? The grapevine is: your granny — tells your grandad — who tells your aunty — who tells your cousin.
The grapevine is all the people it took for the information to reach your cousin (granny, grandad, aunty).

That is, «the word» means «the rumour«.
No. «The word» means «rumour», not a specific rumour. It is a shortened form of «the word on the street».
But «the grapevine» means «the rumour» too.
No. The grapevine is what one supposedly hears rumours on (I have no idea as to the origin of the expression «on the grapevine»). It is not the rumour itself.
Probably because «(the) word» and «the grapevine» are colloquial expressions that come from different sources and have specific usages.
«Rumour» and «tradition» are standard English words and obey normal English rules. They can be used in a wide range of situations.

«The word» […] is a shortened form of «the word on the street».
Do the sentences remain correct in adding «on the street» to them?:
Word on the street has it that the neighbors are moving next month.
The word on the street is that the neighbors are moving next month.
Thanks!
-
#7
Yes, they are both fine, although shortening the expression to «(the) word» is more usual.
-
#8
(1a) Word has it that the neighbors are moving next month.
(2a) Tradition has it that the goddess lies sleeping beneath the mountain.
As far as I’m aware, «word» in (1a) and «tradition» in (2a) are uncountable.
b-variants with «the» at the beginning:
(1b+) The word is that the neighbors are moving next month.
(2b+) The tradition is that the goddess lies sleeping beneath the mountain.
Do «word» in (1b+) and «tradition» in (2b+) remain uncountable or they become countable?
Thanks!

As far as I’m aware, «word» in (1a) and «tradition» in (2a) are uncountable.
«Tradition» is uncountable. This means that adding «the» makes it clear that you are referring to a particular tradition, probably one that has already been mentioned.
«Word» is trickier. I think that in a formal sense it has to be countable. In «the word on the street», it appears to be countable, but this is a fixed expression, and you cannot talk about «a word on the street» or «words on the street». Although it is reasonably common to say «word on the street» without «the» (inasmuch as it is ever common to use the full expression), this appears to be just an ordinary omission of an article at the beginning of a sentence, which is reasonably common in informal speech, and does not indicate that «word» is uncountable.
However, when «the word on the street» is just reduced to «(the) word», then «word» represents an uncountable expression. Does this make it uncountable? I am not sure. «Word is that…», without «the», sounds wrong to me (although, as I said, «the» at the beginning of a sentence is sometimes omitted in speech). However, I might want the article to be there because of how «…is that…» is used in other situations. Similarly, «Word has it that…» sounds fine because this is how «…has it that…» is used with other nouns (which are generally uncountable).
Unlike with «the tradition», the inclusion of «the» with «word» does not refer to a particular word or rumour, and its omission or inclusion does not change the meaning.

—

«Word» is trickier. […] it is reasonably common to say «word on the street» without «the»
In this connection, the question arises, are the next variants correct?:
The word on the street has it that the neighbors are moving next month.
Word on the street is that the neighbors are moving next month.
Thanks!

In the «is» sentence, there is a definite sense that «the» is missing. However, as I said earlier, this sort of omission is common enough in speech.
The «has it» sentence now sounds wrong. I think that what this shows is that «(the) word on the street» does not really fit in a «has it that» sentence, but we accept it if it is disguised as an uncountable noun. Most of the time «the word on the street» is used in place of a countable noun.
Compare:
Have you heard the word on the street?
Have you heard the rumour?
Have you heard a rumour?
Have you heard rumour?
-
#12
(2a) Tradition has it that the goddess lies sleeping beneath the mountain.
(2b+) The tradition is that the goddess lies sleeping beneath the mountain.
«Tradition» is uncountable. This means that adding «the» makes it clear that you are referring to a particular tradition, probably one that has already been mentioned.
Could you clarify, does it mean that:
«Tradition» in «Tradition has it that» is uncountable. But when we add «the«, then «tradition» in «The tradition is that» becomes countable.
Thanks!

It is uncountable whether or not «the» is added. Adding «the» makes it clear that you are talking about some particular tradition.

Remember Brandon Moore, the extraordinary power bottom who fucked his way into hearts and then retired a few short months into his gay porn career? He’s back, at least for a limited engagement, in the new Dominic Ford series Fire Island: Staff House. The premise revolves around Brandon and his buddy James Key making a video blog of their exploits in, you guessed it, a staff house on Fire Island.
With dozens of willing models visiting the island for porn shoots, escorting or dancing gigs, they’ll have their fair share of men to choose from! The first chapter kicks off when Brandon interrupts Hans Berlin‘s exercise routine for a different kind of workout… And if you’re not catching my drift, this kind of workout involves blowjobs, rimjobs and uncut dicks sliding in and out of a very hungry butt.
