Those that and that which?
A couple questions:
What types are the two starting pronouns in the sentence, "those that can't do teach"?
And how would one say this with a singular, similarly unspecified pronoun? Would it be "he who" or "she who" or "one who" for people and "that which" for the inanimate?
thanks
