Wii Got the Bomb I just came across this video, and found hilariously funny. I then thought to myself, I speak three languages and can understand Italian a little bit but English is by far a more difficult language to learn. Dont get me wrong, Spanish and Portuguese have their own issues but as far as lexical ambiguity goes. wait. I think Im wrong. There are words with two or more possible meanings but you cant use them in a sentence like you can in English.

Here's my favorite: two students, James and John, are taking an English test. One of the questions asks them whether it would be better to use had or had had in a given sentence. James, while John had had had had, had had had. Had had had had a better effect on the teacher

As a bonus fact: you may be familiar with that feeling when a word seemingly loses meaning because it has been said too many times. I bet Buffalo or Can has little meaning to you right now. Well, that phenomenon is known as semantic satiation.

But is this a grammatically correct sentence?
Bison bison Bison bison bison bison Bison bison. See how the genuine Americanised version alters things a fair way.
