Consider this sign -

THE DOG __ AND __ DUCK


You can see that there's too much space between DOG and AND and AND and DUCK.

I have no doubt that that is true 😕
(Note, contractions such as "she'd had" Bypass the repeating word and are evil in nature)

It's just that that type of sentence is either redundant or at least odd or awkward.

Often the term "that that" is quite redundant. Many times just one that in the same sentence means the same thing, sounds better, sand saves on words.
One hardly ever hears of the word forest dewordification. We need conservative conservation. 😕

In your example one "and" seems to mean pretty much the same thing, but is a beautiful example of the word over harvesting that is devoweling our planet. Little known fact, in India and China an "E" is worth 5 Bengal tiger skins on the black market. 😕

But "she's had" means "she has had". What repeating word?

Do you mean to say "she'd had"?

I was going to correct another of your posts but I figured correcting a second typo is just harsh.

And you might think I was hitting on you. 😉
