Question: For all those grammar gurus, I have a question about the use of
"that that."
When is it used? What are the rules?
Non-answer:
That "that" that THAT student used is wrong.
The oddest response that I can give to Benjamin is the punctuation quiz
from 30+ years ago... How do you punctuate
Johnny where the teacher had had had had had had had had had had had the
teachers approval
In the end, I try to avoid multiple uses of a word anywhere in a sentence,
let alone next to each other.
