Now Gil gets to veto Webster? It's usually used for impersonal objects - it's perfectly acceptable to use for people. So what is this? Now Gil gets to veto Webster?

'Who' is supposed to be used with people. One person once linked an article where grammer glitches are now apparently considered acceptable because people have given up the desire to correct the glitches. ‘That’ is supposed to be used with plants, animals and objects and is impersonal. ‘Who’ is supposed to be used with people.

The cost overruns paid by the U.S. treasury would have been enough to swamp Charley Rangel's Dominican resort with retiring corrupt Chicago politicians beginning in 2017. The exodus would have been so swift a new generation of Illinois building inspectors would have had to scramble to figure out how to extort a $100 bribe from property owners. The combination of corrupt Chicago politicians and corrupt IOC members would have turned the ex-Nigerian treasury official that keeps e-mailing me green with envy. Then if they had moved the UN and the U.S. Capitol to Chicago in 2016 we would have seen the greatest collection of crooks and criminals in the history of the world. It would have been so bad Roman Polanski could have moved there and people would be glad they didn't have another politician amongst them. The U.S. taxpayer dodged that bullet.
