          I remember hearing a long long time ago that there is a sentence that uses the same word seven times consecutively and still makes sense? Does anyone know what it is?

                It's horrible construction and probably not something I'd ever parse successfully on my own, but the explanation in wp's usage section is reasonably clear IMO.

                      Try it with punctuation: James, while John had had "had," had had "had had"; "had had" had had a better effect on the teacher.

                                  I like that one. I read it as the positive reply. I guess there is still some optimism left in me..

                                    maybe, maybe not. IMO the positive construction read more naturally than the negative one; which would influence which was selected.

                                      Now it makes more sense - without punctuation it is meaningless

                                        I can't even understand it without the punctuation, and it's too much effort to try and work it out.
