Certain sets of words in the English language tend to confuse people. I have found the following to be among them:
WHO / THAT
“Who that?” pretty well says it all here—incorrectly. While both words can be used as relative pronouns, the pronoun who refers to a person or persons; the pronoun that does not.
INCORRECT: The man that would be king had better be a man that can rule his people with courage and wisdom.
CORRECT: The man who would be king had better be a man who can rule his people with courage and wisdom.
