Confusing Which, Who, and That

[tcha]

It is acceptable in English (though I disagree) to refer to your dog as a pet that likes people. It is not correct to refer to people as that: Instead of “The man that was in line in front of me,” making him an object, say, “The man who was in line.” The word which is often erroneously used in place of that. Use which when the meaning of the sentence would be incomplete without a following phrase. Otherwise, use that. “The house, which needed work, sold for much less than expected.” “The house that needed work sold for less than expected,” means that house as opposed to the other one that didn’t need work.
