>If the opinion he had had had had any relevance

>he'd had

>>9327272
what would be a better way of saying it?

>If the opinion he'd had still held any relevance
?

>>9327337
How about:
>If his past opinion still held relevance
It has the same meaning with much less "hadding."

Mightn't've.

Can anyone used 'was was' in a sentence? I'm sure I read that somewhere the other day but can't think of anything.

>>9327265
Kill yourself, frogposter.

>>9327373
I was was walking to the store

>>9327373
What he was was a doctor

>>9327385
It makes perfect sense but looks so silly.

What about had hadnt

>>9327385
Wouldn't there be a comma in between them?

Sorry, I'm retarded

>>9327265
>The thought had never occurred to him that that was the correct grammar

>>9327448
That's called a "comma splice." If you were to say "What he was, was a doctor," you'd have two dependent clauses instead of one full sentence. A comma separates a supplementary dependent clause from the main independent clause of the sentence.

>>9327469
Actually a comma splice is the opposite of that, but the main point about making the sentence disjunctive stands.

Apologies, it has been a while since I got this pedantic about it

>>9327476
heh you learn something new everyday amirite

That that is is that that is not is not is that it it is

Monolingual pleb detected.

It's about it being stylistically bad, you little contrarian shit.

>gonna

Had had has its uses, though; good for breaking tension if you've somehow built tension but don't want it to go anywhere.

>>9330166
>I'm going to deprive the English of grammatical tenses, one of the things that the English language already struggles with just because I can't stand a repeated word
>Hating on had had that much
>Calling people contrarian
>The lack of self awareness
Modern lit everyone.

What the effect that that had had was was mindblowing

>>9330202
>a certain grammatical form sounds jarring and aesthetically unpleasing
>HURR DURR HOW DARE YOU LE SELF AWARENESS
Fuck off and kys yourself, autismo.

>>9330230
>Telling people who think had had is stupid to kill themselves
>Somehow thinks he isn't a contraian
>Reeees at being accused of lack of self awareness
The lack of self awareness is real.

>>9327272
I like this

>>9330246
>Telling people who think had had is stupid to kill themselves
Nobody did that, retard. Now fuck off to /mu/ or /tv/ or whatever other cesspit of retarded teenagers you crawled out of.
