WHO and THAT
We see these two words get mixed up a lot. Quite simply: 

Who is for people, That is for things. (Usually... He he!)

Correct - There was a boy in my class who used to pick his nose. 

Incorrect - Philip was my old friend that stole my bike. 

Correct - Philip was my old friend who stole my bike.
