That is very odd that that "that that" is as accurate as that "that"

    I tend to use "that" a lot even when it's not really necessary ("Did you know that I'm a princess?"), so usually if I arrive at "that that", I'll try to cut one out and see if it still make sense.

    I think it's often unnecessary so I don't always bother with it, but then sometimes I use it twice.  I don't really think things through before saying/writing them.
