There's nothing wrong with had had. I can't remember seeing a that that anywhere though.

James and John, who are required by an English test to describe a man who, in the past, had suffered from a cold. John writes "The man had a cold," which the teacher marks as being incorrect.

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

English truly is the best.

You don't think that "that that" ever occurs? I don't quite agree that that is the case.

any time a word is repeated consecutively it means there is a better way to write the sentence that will make it sound less completely fucking retarded

>that'd
>had'd
