Redundant had and that
Redundant had and that
(OP)
I am curious what the grammatical term is for "had" or "that" when used twice consecutivley in a sentence.
...had had... or ...that that...
When used, it actually makes some kind of sense, in context, but to me usually seems unnecessary when one "had" or one "that" would work so that it only results in interrupting my train of thougth while reading.
Probably would never occur in technical writing.
Again to be redundant -- just curious.

Besides, if it was good enough for Abraham Lincoln in his most famous utterance, I guess you shouldn't feel too bad when you find your self using a double 'that' because it sounds like it belongs.

Funny sounding for sure. Not related, but I was in an automotive parts store when younger, and overheard a conversation at the counter. This elderly man was holding an alternator in his hand, obviously trying to troubleshoot a problem with his car. The tech behind the counter had offered some advice, and the elderly man replied, "I've done been had that!" Grammatically wrong, but instantly understandable. His frustration had probably gotten him tongue-tied, and I find it fun (after all these years) to work it into conversations when I can.
