I have to think on that one.
I'm sure I use "people that" but I understand why it might be wrong.

I will guard myself against it in future!

I still shimmy around the word "git" which my teacher when I was nine had an aversion to.
Same with "a lot". "A lot is something you bid on in an auction, not a degree of quantity!"
Yes Mrs Quant (SIL to Mary, incidentally).
