Talking Extraposition relative clauses

I am interested from teachers whether they would accept...

Everyone is strong who is healthy.

If yes, are there any conditions that might make you not accept it (ie contextual factors or a different noun quantifier).

Would you also accept...?

The man is strong who is healthy

If no, are there any conditions that you might accept an extraposed relative clause.

Cheers,

Nev123

Default Re: Extraposition relative clauses

This structure is a little uncomfortable for me but is used extensively in logic exercises.
