    • > My English is not perfect but is there such a use? Subject and verb in = singular and pronoun in plural? This sounds strange to me. I often see = she/her being used when the gender is not determined by the subject but = I have never seen this use. This is the most common gender neutral language in English, at least in = the US. And yes, the usage that was committed was correct. Well, come to = think about it, the grammar police may object... But common usage = suggest this is the least-objectionable way people find to do this. = he/she is considered too awkward, (s)he is considered too weird. s/he is = also too weird. Warner=
