Another Penn Craigslist Gem Surfaces

Presented (mostly) without comment. But glad the dude went so far as to include a picture illustrating what he’s looking for, in case you are too lazy to read.

he should know that it’s “people who” never “people that.” he’s not going to turn people on with bad grammar if being a professor is his selling point…

Please tell me this professor works in the humanities and is familiar with Edward Said’s Orientalism. That would just make it so much better.

“that” is the only demonstrative pronoun that can be appropriately used in conjunction with both things and people, so both “people who” AND “people that” are grammatically correct.

By @cheerfulgrammernazi on June 15, 2010 at 10:31 am

that may be, but in newspaper articles, blog posts, etc it’s always “people who,” and i would venture to put craigslist in that category
