My grandson graduated from the Baker College, then went on to study and graduate from Specs Howard Scool for video production. He has been doing freelance video for a couple of years and has produced some outstanding work. This week he was asked by a company who does video production for CBS Sports, ESPN, and others to be the action camera operator for two games of the Detroit Soccer Club. It was not televised, but was live streamed. He did a fantastic job.

After the game, the producer asked if he was available to do the video of the Southfield, MI "State of the City" address. He said he was. The producer said good, and started to turn to leave. My grandson said, "Wait... Don't I get paid today?"

She said, we only pay contact employees after each event...You're going to be an employee.

Needless to say he's quite happy, and mother and grandparents are quite proud.

grammar lesson: "Who" refers to people. "That" refers to objects, entities (a company) and animals.

This is an unusual “who/that” error. In most cases people incorrectly use “that” instead of “who”. When I point out these linguistic atrocities to my wife she often responds: “Who cares!?”. Of course her use of “Who” only serves to prove my point that the correct word does matter. No one would say “That cares!?”, would they?
Anyway, just wanted you to know you’re not alone in your quest to encourage proper usage😊

FYI: Grammerly didn't show it as needing correction. Just sayin'

This is a photography forum.... NOT a high school english class, or some grammer school. Most people here do not care one nit how YOU want people to talk, or write. Stick to the topic of the forum, and leave your "grammer cop" attitude out of it.

Isn’t the “general chit-chat (non-photography)” section for “general chit-chat (non-photography)” topics?
