Are the following pronoun references correct? "The team won its first game tonight. Afterwards, they went out to cellebrate." Can a singular pronoun, its, and a plural pronoun, they, both reference the same noun, team? Keep the home fires burning. Gmm Please don't flame about the mild nature of this entry. I could have very easily substituted the appropriate flame vocabulary: "Ok, All you egg-sucking, self-proclaimed hackers who think they have something to say, this is your first grammer lesson since grade school. Listen up and learn to communicate." to conform to standards, but I choose the calm approach.
