    The A is slightly more emphasized in the second that. It’s subtle

        Could be. So you say them exactly the same and not an inflection shift?

            Because you generally put more emphasis on the subject in English

              I’ll try and pay attention next time I have to say that that or if someone else says it. I think reading it and over thinking it makes it sound weird

              I think it depends on if you want to emphasize something specifically or not. Second ‘that’ is the default it seems, but I first expected ‘was’ to be emphasized in this sentence
