Egg's off, bacon's off, bread's off, tea's off. English is on though.
7 That’s in a rowWhat’s the most times you can repeat the same word consecutively in a sentence and still retain meaning? Here’s a sentence with 7 words in a row. It remains true for all that that that that that that that refers to is not the same that that that that refers to. Anyone for any more?

I agree with you that It remains true for all that that that that that that that refers to is not the same that that that that refers to.

I tell my students to say “He also arrived at 13.58″ in a different way. The answer is, of course, “He came at two to two, too”.

It remains true for all that that that that that that that that strongly refers to is wrong.

In the English exam, John, where James had had ‘had’, had had ‘had had’. ‘Had had’ had had the examiner’s approval.
