Grammar Snufus by Karla Stover

Okay, here's the deal. When did people become "that" instead of "who?" I hear this on the radio on the TV ( and shouldn't news reporters know better )? and unless my memory is wrong, have even read it in places. Why?

Been thinking about what happens in my head when I enter these worlds. What changes? When writing contemporary stories, I’m familiar with the world.
