"Getting Better"

Backdated, archival post

---&---

There's a troublesome relative pronoun in a line in "Getting Better" - "The teachers that taught me weren't cool."  Instead of that, it should be who, since it refers to people ("the teachers").  It's a minor point, but it illustrates either that the singer/speaker hasn't been paying much attention to what his teachers were saying or that the teachers neglected to point this out in the first place.
