RattPitt 172 February 4, 2016 Share February 4, 2016 Sorry if this topic has been done already. I looked in the past couple of pages and didn't see anything like it. Anyway, how can I avoid having to use a double 'that' in a story of mine and keep it sounding good? Specifically, the sentence I want to change is "There's something about the way she said that that bothers me." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RattPitt 172 February 4, 2016 Author Share February 4, 2016 "Something about the way she said that bothers me." Thank you. I wish I thought of that before. I'm going to blame the late night for me not thinking of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discordian 6,015 February 4, 2016 Share February 4, 2016 Alternatively "There's something about the way she said it that bothers me." The context could make it sound weird though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverStarApple 849 March 10, 2016 Share March 10, 2016 "There's something about the way she said that, it really bothers me." "There's something about the way she said that thing, it really bothers me." "There's something about the way she said that, I don't trust it." (Or like it, or whatever the context is) I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was akin to a slow death. If I must live as I did before then... -Lelouch, Code Geass - My NEW DeviantART: http://SilverStarApple.deviantart.com/Want to make money for being an AWESOME PONY? https://www.tsu.co/Epsilon725 My fanfic, starring Silver Star Apple: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/224996/the-shining-silver-star-of-the-apple-family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
