what this all about anyways?
putting that word "that" in grammatically correct sentence ?
common seriously........

example :
slide that card over the counter for me jack
slide that apple over there
did that car slide over the hill and get into a wreck?

no offense but how dumb can you be?:doh:

what a brain teaser lol:eek:

You really are high or drunk or something, aren't you? It's to put it in a sentence as many times in a row as possible.

Now go stick your head in a bucket of ice water or something...

Ah yes but to me(maybe not to you) it works because there's an 'understood' verb there.
When you say a command to someone, you don't have a subject in the sentence, but its still gramatically correct because there is an 'understood you' in the front.
I just think its right because there's an 'understood referred to' between all the sets of thats.

Too bad those eight thats were wrong. I felt like I had pushed it way too much. I am still wondering, though, if this one is correct or not:

I said that that that that that [/i]that[/i] that was mentioned earlier was referring to shouldn't be a that, but a this instead.

But now I promise I'll never use the word 'that' ever again. And it starts right now.

Yep, I'm pretty sure about that.

My only consolation for having been subjected to your brain-killing sentences is that, in a month or two, you will grow to hate your new title.

If I didn't like it, I wouldn't have induced it in the first place.

Of course, sandwich's help was more than welcome!

I think that that that that that that guy said was wrong

I think that this that which that 'that guy' said was wrong

that works

I don't get it - are you trying to provoke me or something?

If you structure it so that that that that that that followed isn't actually necessary for a proper grammatical construct, but is merely included to increase the number of "that's" in a row to 6, then I think that's that.

That's good, same concept as Levyathan's prize-winner - the only way it can work, actually.

Well, I can see what you mean, sort of like one's neibours dog's previous owners' ex-wife's sisters' mother's etc etc, but in our case it's not correct grammar.

Nope - can't be done. The next to the last "that" is missing an action.

Oh well. Then I'll have to be happy with the six I got.
