Hmm...  Let's see:

I don't know about the wrong relativizer.  You can just move it
next to people and it's standard:

I've heard people that didn't communicate with each other use it
as a word.

You can use "that" there; there's nothing wrong with it.  As for
MISplaced, well, that's a matter of opinion, isn't it?
