What's with all the punctuation are you mad at me
Someone in this little thread be like:
My single, "My single is dropping," is dropping.
Shakespeare coined it.
For the confused:
"Whoever coined the term 'CTM', coined the term, 'CTM'!"
("CTM" being the term, "coined the term".)
(Please note that "term" is not an accurate word. A potentially better word would be "idiom". Thank you for reading.)
Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo or something
Well actually no, I only got 7/8 and didn't have the capitalization correct. But I appreciate your support, not only in tone but also in source material
Apparently there's nothing special about 8 buffalos; any sentence that consists solely of the word buffalo repeated is grammatically correct. Also as an idiot on this subject I can confidently tell you that as long as you throw some lowercase buffalos in there nobody is going to notice.

Mushroom mushroom?
Badger, badger, badger, badger.
Snake! A snake! Oh, it's a snake!
My favorite thing about tautologies is how tautological they are.
Amazing; the features I like the most about the things I like are also what I like about the most about them. Truly, you and I have our similarities in common.
Yoy should come join the tautology club. Just remember these three rules:
- The first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club
- The second rule of tautology club is not the first rule of tautology club
- If this is your first night at tautology club, you haven't been here before
so, whoever coined the term "coined the term", coined the term "coined the term"
even bash is more precise than human language

This why we need term limits
Somewhere at Microsoft there is, presumably a Teams Team team.
I think there are like, seven of them and they don’t talk to each other.

Will Will Smith smith? Will Smith will smith.
Buffalo buffalo buffalo, etc
...for any natural number of repetitions of "buffalo", no less.
a good way to teach both a weird case in English and a common algorithm in information science at the same time, if one wanted to do that in a STEAM course
Oh! Is that the new "Science, Technology, Engineering, AI, And Math" Curricula? 🪦
That's streets ahead
star wars star wars, cool cool cool. you understand.
All of the faith that he had had had had no effect on the outcome of his life.
James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher.
I've tried quite a few times now, and I can't parse this at all.
Try my other reply
Well, that worked. Still, it seems off. If someone were actually writing or saying that, they would most likely use "said" or "wrote" for a at least a couple of those hads.
I’m not having that
It's much more parseable with punctuation:
James, while John had had "had", had had "had had". "Had had" had had a better effect on the teacher.
this could use some punctuation marks but its funny anyway if not a bit redundant
oh, i miss word avalanches
Wouldn't the sentence 'I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and And and And and Chips in my Fish-and-Chips sign' have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before Fish, and between Fish and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and Chips, as well as after Chips?
We must go deeper!
