RE: The proof that he is right is to write and prove him wrong - the chiasmus challenge
Ah, I wasn't sure if the words could change,but that makes sense. Pretty soon I will sound like guru!

I guess as long as you can see the structure of the two parts of the sentence being mirrored then it is good enough in my books. There are different types of chiasmuses, and in my post title I used one that just had the same sounding words without the same spelling, so that's another type. The magic happens because the change in the order of the words produce a different meaning, like in the classic example of 'working hard or hardly working' :)
