[Fan mag quotes de-ethnicized Mexican-American actress, Jessica Alba]:

“I've just hired a professor that specializes in Hispanic studies to teach
me and Honor." [her daughter]

A "correction" is posted by a reader:

Sounds like her English is a little rusty, too. It should be:

“Honor and I.”

How was that "that" instead of "who" missed by such a stickler, I wonder?
