Default Is using THAT OK in these sentences???
A thief is a person who steals things.
A thief is a person THAT steals things.

The people who work in the office are very friendly.
The people THAT work in the office are very friendly.

I know using WHO is more usual, but do you think using THAT is gramatically correct???

Thanks for helping me with this! I really appreciate it.
