“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0
Politeness shoots grammar in the foot (emphasis added):
An employee at the Llano County Sheriff’s Office accidentally shot their gun in an office on Friday.
The department says no one was injured in the incident. There was some damage, however, and the office will need a window replaced.
“An employee” “their”? Really?
Grammar is not an affectation. It is the rules of the road for discourse. Otherwise, said what doesn’t have you meaning.
Clearly, the author of this news story was weaving drunkenly down the road with his or her head up his or her cellphone, like the bozo who stuck me at a stoplight a couple of days ago.
Furrfu.
