Title: In Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on September 07, 2013, 09:19:00 PM Contrive a grammatically correct sentence using four ins in a row. One or more can be capitalized but don't use Inn--only "in/In".
I'll start with using three ins in a row to get the ball a rollin'. The choir joined in in "In the Misty Moonlight". (Is the period suppose to be inside the quotation mark?) EDIT: No plurals or possessive usage. Title: Re: In Post by: Foxpup on September 08, 2013, 01:20:55 AM The capitalisation rule is cheating. I really don't think the last "in" in "in in In" should count.

Being that this is my thread, the last "in" in "in in In" in "In" thread should count.

For those keeping score at home, we went from 4 to 5 to 7, then back to 4 ins in a row. Title: Re: In Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on September 08, 2013, 04:22:58 AM In's IN in IN increased in value. In 1 => person In 2 => Indium In 4 => Indiana Unless my 7 ins is not grammatically correct that's the number to beat. I see that I forgot to exclude plurals and possessive usage as well--only singular ins. Title: Re: In Post by: b!z on September 08, 2013, 12:36:08 PM There is an inn in innsville?

It's missing an article: Quote Being that this is my thread, the last "in" in "in in In" in the "In" thread should count.

It's missing an article: Quote Being that this is my thread, the last "in" in "in in In" in the "In" thread should count. I have to concur with your assessment, for I did clearly state that the sentence had to be grammatically correct. Six ins is not that bad though. I'm goin' to tackle the seven ins now, for clearly the sentence "Being that this is my thread, the last "in" in "in in In" in "In" thread should count." is not grammatically correct. Oh, wait...

Four ins used successfully Title: Re: In Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on September 09, 2013, 05:17:58 AM In Australia, being in a bushrangers gang in the olden days could land you in gaol (jail for US readers).

A man said to me, "in in in in in in in in in" and declared he had won the contest, but I pointed out that the sentence had to be grammatically correct.

Title: Re: In Post by: Kluge on September 09, 2013, 05:31:50 AM In Indiana, inns are inherently intrusive for former inmates due in part to a now-inconceivable idea to do background investigations in cases where a guest clocks in intoxicated in such a way where speech is incoherent. Indiana inns inoculate former inmates by installing thin, shiny ingots of zinc in a parallel composition, done in part to inhibit dodging inn guidelines.
(yeah - not in a row. "joined in in" is nonstandard, though - so there.)
