@Pianoman1 saidJim, where James had had "had had", had had "had"; "had had" had had the teacher's approval.
Punctuate this to make complete sense:
Jim where James had had had had had had had had had had had the teachers approval
(The first two quoted units are interchangeable, which would result in the other student's offering being approved instead.)
@Kewpie said…….or teachers’

There are webpages with lists of these, and people interested have all been there.
Unfortunately, for this pedant at least, punctuation is a lost art. Most of the people who post in these forums seem to think apostrophes belong in plurals and there's no difference in meaning between cat's, cats', 'cats' and cats.
@Pianoman1 saidTheres too much space between "Crown" and "and" and "and" and "Anchor".
@Kewpie Full marks! How about this one?
Theres too much space between Crown and and and and and Anchor

@Ponderable saidAlmost! You missed the apostrophe in “there’s”.
Theres too much space between "Crown" and "and" and "and" and "Anchor".
One more punctuation conundrum:
That that is is that that is not is not is not that it it is

@Pianoman1 saidShoot the dog, on no account shoot the man.
@Kewpie
These are too easy for you. On a different tack why is punctuation so important for the following telegram?
Shoot the dog on no account shoot the man
Shoot the dog on no account, shoot the man.
Obviously two different outcomes.
And we're probably of a similar age and literacy standard.
