Oooh, I disagree, my fellow cop. The singular subject "citizen" does indeed call for the singular pronouns "him/her". I know this is becoming accepted via usage, but it's still incorrect. :-P I can hear the rest of you now. "Oh, good, they're starting to fight amongst themselves now." LOL. Cee PS - I don't really like being called a grammar cop. I prefer grammar cowgirl. Can I have a gold star instead? ----- Original Message ----- >From: Arthur Polhill >To: [email protected] >Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2012 1:17 PM >Subject: Re: [gatortalk] NOW, it's official! > > >BTW, most-exalted, congressionally perked, retired gatekeeper, in your last >sentence "him/her" should be changed to "them." :) > A.
