    And

    How many times can you use the word "and" consecutively in a sentence that is both grammatically correct and makes sense ?
    I can manage 5.
    This is something I made up years ago, so hopefully Google won't help.
    EDIT
    I've just checked Google and it is on there.

        You cannot use the words "and " and "and" and " and" and "And" and "and" et al consecutively in one sentence unless you're Rocketron!

            I often repeat the word several times with nothing between when the kiddies are telling tales on each other...does that count?

              Surely you would create a list instead? You could use bullet points or semi colons ( to separate the words....

              Much easier to read and understand.... Sorry, my P&Q-ness is coming out (and I did read "Eat Shoots and Leaves")

                  The landlord of The Rose And Crown employs a signwriter to make him a pub sign.
                  He says to the signwriter "Whatever design you come up with, don't forget to leave spaces between Rose and And and And and Crown".
                  This was my original.
