In reality, what Brutus said was grammatically correct. In his statement, “that” was just as acceptable as “who.” [Equivalent are … “The boy that lost his watch was careless” and “The boy who lost his watch was careless.”] Apparently, Chip Sansom did not know this, so he mistakenly referred to the change from “that” to “who” as an “editorial correction.”

The correction of an error is not “pedantry.” It is a favor, and it should be appreciated, not criticized.
