Hey,
I know that in defining relative clauses we will use who/that for relating to people and which/that to objects.
Though, I hesitate whether it holds good for phrases including somebody/something/anybody/anything.
Is it grammatical to say:
"I think Diana finally met somebody who is great" as well as "I think Diana finally met somebody that is great"?
or
"A screwdriver is something which is used for turning screws" as well as "A screwdriver is something that is used for turning screws"?
An answer by a native speaker will be most appreciated.
Thanks for your attention and time.
