Delf, How ironic this is, because the conventionally correct way to write that would be "...persons who use an expression incorrectly...'.
'People' is not the plural of 'person'. 'People' is a race or cultural group. The word for which you were searching so unsuccessfully is 'persons'. Hard word, I know.
'That' is not a personal pronoun. 'Who' is the word for which you were groping.
'Wrong' is an adjective. You may add the adverbial ending 'ly', but you sound inarticulate when you do. And because it affects the word 'use', it should be placed next to that word, not 'expression'.
I don't care about grammar, punctuation, etc, except when I'm signing a contract or listening to some insufferable, uneducated, inarticulate - dare I say 'ignorant' - narcissist ridiculing someone, despite being no more correct than the person whom he or she is ridiculing - especially in a completely informal setting such as this.
But as long as you feel superior, let's not let facts and education stand in the way. Same for your idiotic upvoter.
