64. Pronouns And Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement
The need for pronounantecedent agreement can create gender problems. The usage to be preferred in ordinary speech and writing is Who are you, anyways?

Pronouns and
Pronoun-Antecedent
Agreement
For definitions of the various kinds of pronouns and their roles in a sentence, click HERE
Basic Principle: A pronoun usually refers to something earlier in the text (its antecedent The indefinite pronouns anyone, anybody, everyone, everybody, someone, somebody, no one , and nobody are always singular. This is sometimes perplexing to writers who feel that everyone and everybody (especially) are referring to more than one person. The same is true of either and neither , which are always singular even though they seem to be referring to two things. The need for pronoun-antecedent agreement can create gender problems. If one were to write, for instance, "A student must see his counselor before the end of the semester," when there are female students about, nothing but grief will follow. One can pluralize, in this situation, to avoid the problem:
  • Students must see their counselor before the end of the semester.
    Or, one could say
  • A student must see his or her counselor. . . .
Too many his 's and her 's eventually become annoying, however, and the reader becomes more aware of the writer trying to be conscious of good form than he or she is of the matter at hand.

Lesson Topic: Linking Verbs and Correct Pronoun Usage Let's say Kevin calls John on the phone. He asks for John by name because he doesn't recognize John's voice. The conversation begins like this: John: Hello. Kevin: Hello, is John there? What should John say? He has two choices: It's me. -OR- It's I. Before we tell you the correct answer, let's explain the grammar. A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. For example Michelle is my friend. She gave me a present. For this lesson, we will concentrate on pronouns that DO actions and pronouns that RECEIVE actions. Subject Pronoun (performer or does action) Object Pronoun receives action) I me you you he him she her it it we us they them who whom Example: Michelle is my friend.

Disputed English grammar
[Categories: English grammar]
Cases of disputed English grammar arise when individuals disagree about what should be considered correct English in particular grammatical constructions.
Such disagreements often are surprisingly impassioned. Sometimes, one side attempts to argue on the basis of logic or functionality that a particular usage is better. At other times, people appeal to precedent: a particular usage should be used because the best writers have used it in the past. In some cases, people will even appeal to writers who wrote several centuries ago, such as (English poet and dramatist considered one of the greatest English writers (1564-1616)) William Shakespeare . Such appeals to old usage are dubious, since many grammatical constructions used by Shakespeare could not possibly be used in educated writing today, as in the use of "his" for "its", or "an" for "if". We do not hold such usages against Shakespeare, since they were normal in his day and the language has changed since then.
Writing about usage tends to be most useful to other people if it makes clear what kind of impression a particular usage will make on particular kinds of readers. Some usages will strike some readers as "barbarous" and uneducated. Other usages pose the opposite risk, that they will strike some readers as pretentious. Ideally, good advice will help a writer to best adapt his or her writing to the intended audience. Unfortunately, there are also cases where no single usage will please all readers: one choice will sound vulgar to some readers and another pretentious to different readers. For an example, see the discussion of usage in the Wikipedia article

Disputed English grammar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Cases of disputed English grammar arise when individuals disagree about what should be considered correct English in particular grammatical constructions. Such disagreements are often quite impassioned, using a variety of different arguments. One common kind of argument will justify on the basis of logic or functionality that a particular usage is better. Another kind of argument is one based on an appeal to precedent, asserting that a particular usage should be accepted or preferred because the best writers have used it in the past, or conversely, that it should be rejected because it is a neologism . This kind of argument can become very complicated, as not everyone always agrees on whether a usage is a new one: for example, if a usage was common until the 1800s, but was hardly ever seen in the 1900s, then some might consider it new if it regained currency, while others might not. (For example, certain Shakespearean constructions, such as the use of "his" for "its," or "an" for "if," are not considered correct today.) Yet another common argument follows what might be called a democratic principle: it asserts that, since language changes naturally over time, a usage should be considered correct if it is common. Writing about usage tends to be most useful to other people if it makes clear what kind of impression a particular usage will make on particular kinds of readers. Some usages will strike some readers as "barbarous" and uneducated. Other usages pose the opposite risk, that they will strike some readers as pretentious. Ideally, good advice will help a writer to best adapt his or her writing to the intended audience. Unfortunately, there are also cases where no single usage will please all readers: one choice will sound vulgar to some readers and another pretentious to different readers.
