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 Clauses, Nouns, Pronouns, Relative Pronouns, Whom

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 Nouns, Pronouns, Relative Pronouns

I think I should create a thread for this for my own record.” Please do if you feel it's necessary.  CJ  CalifJim
