Using "that that" in a sentence always bothers me, but I can never think of another way to rephrase that.

Edited

Example usage: [https://phuks.co/s/Cats/9242/a14af1ec-989d-4bbd-b583-016d0d1ca084](I know for a fact that that cat has a penis)

In that comment, and probably in other instances, you could drop the first "that" and the sentence would still be grammatically correct. "I know for a fact that cat has a penis."

That is a tricky problem.

But just to clarify, did you know that that that that is actually grammatically correct?
