Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

For Bunny, who likes grammar and word play.

The title of this post? It's a grammatically correct sentence [1] wouldn't you know.

Also, add punctuation to this sentence to make it correct [2]:

James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher

And finally, while not English, here's a poem in a dialect of Chinese [3] that's just as confusing as the “Buffalo buffalo” sentence.
