      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 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?

        In a similar vein, is this[^] which is a good antidote to the people that claim that punctuation is redundant.

                  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.

                              I did. But I couldn't figure out what it meant at all without any punctuation.

                                It still hurts my mind. I'd just have to slap anyone trying to use such language.

                                    I always thought of that one as two sentances. Using a semi-colon is cheating :)

                                      Have to disagree! Punctuation is like indicators on a car, showing the direction you intend the meaning to take.
