Using words I'm sure (that) (they) don't even exist.

0 Hi,02br
00I have this problem:02br
02br
01b00I heard President Rush use words I'm sure (that) (they) don't even exist.02br
00Being a beginner, I always try to use sentences I'm sure (that) (they) are correct.02b02br
02br
00Structures like those always confuse me, I never know when leave out the subject or "that"... Any advice? Thanks 050010id1

00I think I should say something like "He used words 01i01b00so strange that02b02i00 I don't even know if 01i01b00they02b02i00 really exist," which is better.02br
