Title: Punctuation II Correction/Variation
Post by Sam Harvey on Jan 28^th, 2004, 6:32pm

With regards to this problem...

This is a problem that my father posed for me in a different light, he asked me how many times the one english word could be repeated and still make a legible paragraph...

the explaination being thus:

Consider the following two sentances by two students:

Sam's said "I had a great night at the party."

Tom's said "I had had a great night at the party."

The teacher is correcting the statements and decrees;

Tom, where Sam had had "had", had had "had had". "had had" had had the teachers approval.

Maybe this may make some more sense now... Then again maybe not...

Cheers, Sam
