Tim after using the word “that” four times in thirteen words remarks on the nature of English. That’s nothing. Punctuate this so that it makes sense.

John where Mary had had had had had had had had had had had their teacher’s approval.

    John where, Mary had had “had”, had had “had had”, “had had”, had had their teacher’s approval.

    John, where Mary had had “had”, had had “had had”; “had had” had had their teacher’s approval. (This is absolutely delightful, by the way!)

    I love that the options come down to how full the stop should be after the 7th “had.”
