Use of the words that and who.
Is it correct to use the word that when talking about a person(s) or should you use who. Ex: Everyone that takes the class will pass.

Nothing wrong with using 'that' for a person, but not if you name them: "There is the doctor that operated on my leg," but " There is Doctor Jones, who operated on my leg."
