About 20 years ago on a forum now long gone, someone posted the above question. After people had had a chance to try it, he also posted the answer. I no longer remember the answer but really wish I did.
The answer was not along the lines of "I want that, that, that, that, that, that, and that."
Anyone have any ideas?
Answer
Found it:
"It is true for all that that that that that that that refers to is not the same that that that that refers to."
Meaning:
It is true for all that, that that "that" which that "that" refers to is not the same "that" which that "that" refers to.
Or perhaps more clearly: It is true, despite everything you say, that this word to which this word refers is not the same word to which this word refers.
For a clearer parsing: HERE
This one has 5:
"He said that that that that that boy used was incorrect."
Meaning:
He said that a particular boy's particular usage of the word "that" was incorrect
