'has had' - present perfect tense. 'He's had a good a life since childhood.' - he started having/living a good life when he was a little boy (at an unspecified point in time of that period) and continues to this present day to do so.
'had had' (not so widely spread/used unlike only a 'had' being chosen) - past perfect tense. 'He had had (a single 'had' is of a more appropriate use here) a good life until he lost his wife.' - he started having/living a good life (again at an unspecified point in time) and that action discontinued up during the time his wife past away. The action being described by the 'had had a good life' has an unestablished start in the past and an indefinite span in the past time. It has a similar application as the present perfect tense only with the slightest trait of being applied before a single occurrence in the past of another event.

I think it is bad English but I could be wrong
I think should read:
If she had a shake weight, she could've gained the skills necessary for promotion.
Unfortunately she has had no training in the art of shake weight. She is useless.

Nah, German is still way more confusing than english can ever be

"have had" is the Present Perfect Tense, describes an ongoing action.
"had had" is the Past Perfect Tense, the action has already occurred.

Funny how so many British folk (who like to boast ownership of the English language) have no clue of their language. 
I had not had such a tasty cake before I attended my friend's birthday party last week.
Sound perfectly fine to me.

From the shattering which im currently reading (Yes, i love warcraft lore)
"But Drek’Thar would not be brushed aside, not with the vision he had had."
"There had been other, lesser visions, all equally imaginary. And now this. Surely if the threat was real, others than Drek’Thar would be aware of it.
Palkar was not an inexperienced shaman himself, and he had had no such forebodings."
At least 2 quick examples i've stumbled upon.

Or defense. Also what is it with pronouncing Z as Cee. Z is clearly Zed. Even the US military spells out loud with Zed as Cee makes no sense.

US military also says near miss when something misses a aircraft or whatever.

But Mussolinka, their is no reason to do that. There just too lazy to do it properly, no reason to punch they're avatars.
I could go on and on with these retarded mistakes, and it's not even as if you can pinpoint it to a part of the UK, it's spread throughout. And no, it's not "slang" or shortening shit for the web, it's just bad spelling 
Happens here in NL too though, so many people I see posting in Dutch with fucking aweful spelling and/or grammar. Also usually the people that are from one of the "upper" provinces (North/South Holland - no, Holland is not a country damn you) who ridicule people from the southern part of the country (like me, and damn proud of it! ) for our soft g when we speak Dutch. Shame you can't spell properly, suckers :E

Offense, offense - if they can't be arsed to type properly, and it's offensive to me to have to put up wit this shit, then they should also be offended by our displease of their bad writing. By all means, get offended. 
And we still haven't touched on the retard-speak (aka any of WaldoJ's posts from the last year), which are an insult on just about anyone's intelligence, including JaldoW himself. |
