[Bug 585295] [NEW] People can be referred to with "who" instead of "that"

 

Public bug reported:

Rev. 788
Ch. 1, § "Require my password to login, p. 19 (PDF p. 21)
Type: rewording suggestion

Manual has:
This is a good option for those that, for example, share their computer with other family members.

Since "those" refers to people, "who" could be used instead of "that":
This is a good option for those who, for example, share their computer with other family members.

I have no objection to this being marked "Won't Fix" since there isn't
anything *wrong* with the current wording, but I think "who" flows
better and is more specific for translation and readers with second-
language English.
