Our First Grammar Lesson: Who and That

Because I'm one of those annoying people who can't help editing as I read, write, or go about my day, I'm going to start posting little grammar lessons.  Most of these errors are very common and I hope it will help all of you live life just a little bit smarter...or make you feel a little bit smarter.  :)

Grammar Lesson for the day
When referring to people in a sentence, you need to use the word "who" not "that."

Bad Example:
Karen is one of those annoying girls that corrects my English all the time.

Correct Example:
Karen is one of those annoying girls who corrects my English all the time.

I hear this basically everyday.  It's even on TV.  Sad...
