	To all net.flamers.

	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. Just
	consider it a flame that I put you to the test with a simple
	grammer construct and expect you to fail.
