Thursday, November 28, 2002 Here is an example with five occurrences of "had" in a row, each with a different meaning. This is the longest known case of this phenomenon. As an aid to understanding, we'll build it up a step at a time. The parents were unable to conceive, so they hired someone else to be a surrogate. The parents had had a surrogate have their child. The parents had had their child had. The child had had no breakfast. The child the parents had had had had had no breakfast. Super super mega sweet.posted by AJ | 4:59 PM | |
