"where he had had had she had had had had had had was correct"
parses to:
"Where he had had 'had', she had had 'had had'; 'had had' was correct."
Seen it before :-)
Now, for "Chicago", I've seen discussions where Chicagoans complained about non-Chicagoans saying "Chi-cah-go", whereas, the natives themselves claimed to pronounce it "Chi-caugo" (with the same -au- sound in "caught" or "cog". Come to think of it, "Chi-cog-o" probably best represents the sound.
...to clarify the above, the "caught", "cog", and "cot" are three different vowel sounds for me.
While he had had had, she had had had had; had had had had the teacher's approval.
While he had had had, she had had had had; had had had had the teacher's approval.
Even better! Thanks!
Wow, and I was pleased when I used three hads in a row in a History essay.
That is how Chicagoans pronounce the name of their city, Dulcinea. They are stereotyped by others to pronounce it like Chicaaahgo because of the way Chicagoans pronounce the rest of their /ae/ sounds. For some reason, though, they do not prounce that sound of their city in this way. I believe this tends to happen with the names of cities and other geographic places, especially in the UK -- a lot of holdover from old ways of pronouncing words. The drawn out /ae/ sound is probably a relatively new innovation. Most likely it can be partly attributed to large immigration from Eastern Europe.
I'm from PA (US) and I use the word "mad" meaning insane like this:
She's gone mad.
Also, "mighty" sometimes is used in place of "very" ie. He is mighty strong. It's not very common though...

Americans use mad to mean: insane, angry and as a substitute for the word 'very' but enhanced (very very ....!). I think the diffentiation between "are you mad?" is the tone in which you say it. If you say it with indignation, you mean, are you crazy?! Said in juat a normal question format, it means are you angry.
