I was taught to use "who" not "that" when referring to a person or people. However, I see "that" being used more often that who. Example: They are the ones that always do the work. Is is it proper to use the word that in this case?

[Alan]

Hi,

'That' is fine for people and things. The main differences between 'that' (relative pronoun) and 'who' (and other 'wh- relatives) are: 1) We don't use a preposition before 'that' 2) We don't use a comma before 'that' because 'that' is always a 'defining' relative and 3) We use 'that' after superlatives as in: This is the most boring book that I have read/Here is the tallest building that is visible in the town.
You might like to look at some notes I've written for the site http://www.english-test.net/lessons/21/index.html
