Also, some people prefer to use the non-sexist 'their' for the sexist
'his.'  They/them/their is currently my favorite replacement set
for sexist pronouns (an argument that has only recently died out
in net.women).  Another thing is that people who use 'usage' instead
of 'use' are being pompous and contributing to bureaucrat-ese.
