A complex complex complex.
If someone has an complicated irrational fear about a range of buildings...
... then do they have a complex complex complex??
I hereby officially name this situation the "continuous tripled same-word syndrome"
Any other similar examples?
I hate semicolons, they're worse than metaphors.
There's a long one about "had", I'm not sure this is entirely right, but it is close. The context is an English exam...
Paul, where Simon had had 'had had', had had 'had'.
Its longer than that Andrew. It's
Paul, where Simon had had "had had", had had "had". "Had had" had had the teacher's approval.
It's about a teacher marking two pupils exam papers and one boy had used the word "had" and the other had used the words "had had".
I knew that it went on, but I couldn't work out how with a comma or semi-colon. I think a full stop is cheating...
