well game stopped then answer was
Here is an article.
"James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher" is an English sentence demonstrating lexical ambiguity. The sentence is often given as a word puzzle for which one must find the proper punctuation to give it meaning.[Reichenbach used it in 1947, as an exercise to the reader (but as "John where Jack…"), to illustrate the different levels of language, namely object language and metalanguage.
The phrase can be understood more clearly by adding punctuation and quotation marks:
James, while John had had "had," had had "had had";
"had had" had had a better effect on the teacher.
The meaning could thus be rendered, after some reordering and changing a few words, "While John had used 'had,' James had used 'had had.' The teacher had preferred 'had had.'"0 -
