	Liveinjapan  #533779  Sat, 28 Jun 08 04:02 PM  ...because there are kids who are such fans that they emulate almost everythng that I do. This is Mariah Carey's comment on CNN.   Is the use of two relative pronouns, who and that in this case, in one sentence acceptable and natural?

	CalifJim  #533817  Sat, 28 Jun 08 04:57 PM Surely you can invent one of your own choosing!  Make a sentence like the one the original poster submitted, extending it with another relative clause.  He's already got who and that.  Add which somewhere.  Maybe you can even get a whom or a where in your sentence, too!   CJ     CalifJim

	New2grammar  #534489  Mon, 30 Jun 08 09:05 AM I understand your point now. I was thinking something like this She is a mother of three who like to go swimming in the mornining, who has been married for 6 years, who has lived in five different countries. CJ. I think I should create a thread for this for my own record.    New2grammar

This is fine, but I think the original poster was talking about the use of several different relative pronouns, not the use of one pronoun multiple times.  New2grammar CJ. I think I should create a thread for this for my own record. Please do if you feel it's necessary.  CJ     CalifJim
