Pronouns

"Anyone" is singular; therefore, "their" should be "his," "her," or "his/her." Many style guides now allow using "their" in the singular since "his" excludes females, "her" excludes males, and "his/her" is awkward. It is still incorrect, however, to switch from one person to another. "Anyone" is in the 3rd person, "their" is in the 3rd person, and "you" is in the second person. #nomadsnonsense #pronouns #pronounantecedentagreement #pronounagreement #pets #person #thirdperson
