And and and and and and and and.....

Just something I wanted to impart; within the boundaries of proper English lurks a sentence, which makes perfect grammatical sense, yet contains the same word repeated 13 times consecutively. This is without resorting to "The man fell in the deep mine, down, down, down..." etc.

The story goes like this;

A man is walking down the road and sees a sign-writer busy on the sign above a Lawyer's office. He pauses to scrutinise the sign, which is for a firm called Roland And Anderson.
"You made some mistakes... the gaps between the letters are bigger on some" he says to the signwriter.
"Which ones?" asks the signwriter.
Pointing at the sign, the man says;

"Well, you've got bigger gaps between 'Rol' and 'and', and 'and' and 'And', and 'And' and 'And', and 'And' and 'Derson'."

Ain't seen it on the net before, maybe I'm the first to bother

I could be wrong, as am lousy at both grammer and spelling, but to be gramatically correct, surley the "And" in the middle of Roland And Anderson should be lower case...

Like I said, could be wrong, but i was under the impression that an "and" in a title did not attract a capital letter... anyone confirm that?

technically speaking, you are correct - however, because it is a name of a company, the owners are free to write it however they care to, so it is actually correct and incorrect at the same time, the way I see it
