The landlord of a pub called The Pig And Whistle asked a sign writer to make a new sign. When he saw it he thought that the words were too close together, so he said to the sign writer “I want more space between Pig and And and And and Whistle”.

Live footage of me reviewing a report that has a repeated word series like this:

You can create a sentence with an infinite number of "police"

Who polices the Police?

Police Police police Police.

Who polices the Police Police?

Police Police Police police Police Police.

And so on...

James, while John had had "had", had had "had had;" "had had" had had a greater effect on the teacher.

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

In German the following is a completely valid sentence:

Wenn hinter Fliegen Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen nach.

Which translates to when flies fly behind flies, then flies follow flies. The same works for seals:

Wenn hinter Robben Robben Robben, robben Robben Robben nach.

“That that” can and probably should be replaced with “that which” in almost every instance it is used.

Edit: or “when that”

It annoys me so much when I feel I need to write a sentence like that that I go to great lengths to restructure sentences to avoid it.

...fuck

"That that" spoken are two different sounding words so it makes sense. When it goes from verbal to written and I see it, I will almost always try to rephrase things to avoid that combo. It just jumps out as totally wrong.

I always read "read" as "read" but now everything's different.

Have fun. Or an aneurysm, whichever:

Sometimes we have a do do problem, too. I do do that, anyway.

I don't get it after the 2nd had, any chance someone else understands?

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo!

English has its flaws, but I don't agree that that is one of them.

dass das das das dass da ersetzen kann ist falsch

translation: that "das" can replace "dass" there is wrong.

same shit different barbarians

Many of the at least 400 words that are technically both nouns and verbs depending on usage can form sentences of just repeating the word.

Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Echoes echoes echoes Echoes' echoes.

Mrs Missus misses misses' Missus.

Fly flies fly.

Tests "tests" tests tests Tests' test.

Reasons reason reasons.

What exactly is it that you do do?

• Had had had had
• OH MY GOD, HE HAS A STROKE!

Maybe I'm just grouchy today but how in the world does a word coming up twice in a row translate to a language being flawed? That seems like calling spelling "flawed" because letters come up twice in a row in a word.

About the sign "Alpha and Bravo", the spaces between Alpha and and and and and Bravo are too large.
