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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

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.

My favorite thing about tautologies is how tautological they are.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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:

  1. The first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club
  2. The second rule of tautology club is not the first rule of tautology club
  3. If this is your first night at tautology club, you haven't been here before

James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

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.

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?
