I loved the comments on pronoun-antecedent number agreement. I have a newspaper clipping quoting a former Delaware governor as saying, “We also will make sure that when someone becomes pregnant, they [sic] have access to good health care.” After all, it’s important not to discriminate against the obstetric needs of men.
I really enjoyed your presentation and am pleased to see that we can also view slides with the recording (I was only able to listen in since the session was full). Thanks
