Why did Mark say in git.ads: ) The word 'person' is singular. The word 'their' is plural. English ) grammar dictates that you should have used 'his' instead of 'their' Sadly, recent dictionary editions note that use of "their" in this manner has become acceptable. It'll probably be "grammatically correct" after not too long. -gzb -- "Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen." --Albert Einstein
