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: gatortalk@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2012 1:17 PM Subject: Re: [gatortalk] NOW, it's official!

I am honored to accept the badge and the recognition it represents. It is a true labor of love and you are all welcome; especially Shane. I don't get as angry as Cee about the mangling of my native language; but, it does make me antsy. Look it up. Please refer to the below text for suggested improvements. Thanks for the badge. A.

I found this on Facebook and wanted to present these to our Grammar cop(s) [You obviously meant cops not cop. Get rid of the awkward () construction.] so they could be legit. ;-) Cee and Leon, please step forward… On behalf of GatorNet and [The word and should have been a comma.] in recognition of many, many [Coming up with another word to convey the notion of a long passage of time shouldn't have been that hard.] years of tirelessly correcting our grammar, spelling and other contextual uses of improper verbs, nouns, and other garbage, please accept these badges with our sincere thanks and appreciation. Cee Leon Feel free to print your badge and carry it in your wallet or purse. Should the need ever arise that you are required to exercise your authority over some illiterate citizen, one glance at your badge should render him/her speechless.
