I'm a big proponent of "someone who..." rather than saying "someone that..."
I know it's grammatically acceptable, I'm saying it's not just a missed opportunity, it's dumbing-down our #language and making our #communications less human. Literally.
Calling a #person "that" demotes us to become just as boring as an #object and not worthy of distinction from same. What are your thoughts, #fediverse?
