What is the who you are asking about what, or the what you are asking about who? |

What�s the question? Do you mean "who" refers to a person and shouldn�t be called "that" because that is for things?

do you mean "who" is not a thing? I think afterall it is a word... Then why do you we use �that� with relative clauses both for people and things? |

Which that is that? That which is that is not necessarily who, but which who is that that is?

We can use that instead of who and which where the subject of the relative clause is a person or a thing. This is common in informal language however formal language, such as in work letters, should use who and which.
e.g.
I�d like to give these books to students who (that) can�t afford to buy them
Are you going to throw out the old course books which (that) are out of date?
For more information check Swan (Practical English Usage).

I think that in :Who is that? you need a person.eg:Who is that woman?(when you are refering to a person)What is that?( when you are refering to a thing)
By the way...Who is that beautiful girl in your avatar?

Ah, but the who which is that is not necessarily related to the the that that is which, either of which, but not that, cannot be used in this sentence. |
