Re: that vs who

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

I would think so too, but it's hard to think of contexts where you'd be 
trying to decide between "who" or "that" to refer to a specific person. 
There are situations where the choice might come up in writings about 
groups of people, but most of the ones that come to mind are of the type 
where there's already other content that will offend the groups being 
referred to even more.

Ummm - I don't know about that. It seems to me that any person who ends 
up being referred to as "that" could get upset -- "What do you mean 
calling me a 'that?' What am I, chopped liver?"
