PSA When referring to people or dear pets, use “who”; when talking about things, use “that”.
Example:
The dog WHO loves to go for walks wags her tail every time I stand up. My son WHO usually walks her is away.
The leash THAT I grab makes her wag her tail harder. We go out the door THAT is closer to the trail.
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

@ImagineThat Yea, well, oh, ok, nevermind! 😆🤪
@ImagineThat I appreciate your observation. Reminds me of when I read a nonfiction book about trees and they consistently referred to them as "who". I liked that, but it surprised me and make me stop and think.
