Grammar
Is this sentence fine?
That you should wear a hat is necessary.
I think that this phrase should be changed to "you should wear a hat". I think that both of them mean the same thing and "That ~ is necessary" is unnecessary. What do you think? Is there some differences between two phrase?

po oh tter That you should wear a hat is necessary. Correct, but unusual. "that you should wear a hat" is the subject.
- po oh tter That you should wear a hat is necessary.
- Correct, but unusual.

- Usually in cases where the subject is a that -clause we substitute "it" and then move the that -clause to the end, like this, which is also correct: It is necessary that you should wear a hat.
