==="It" vs. "Who"=== | |||
In many instances "it" is in place of where "who" should be, and "who" is in place of where "it" should be. | |||
When using a title for a specific function of a person, "it" should be used instead of "who". | |||
Example: "The builder will stop after ''it'' has received the check." | |||
Although it seems strange, this is the correct use of "it". | |||
Besides "it" sounding weak and wordy, rules where it is supposed to be used should be considered. | |||
