Not pleased. This was one of the few new books at my book fair. It was a bust. My 16th and possibly the worst if you correct for the pandemic. I hope it's not a sample of supply chain shortages and consumer confidence. But the lowest moment this week was finding this grammatical error. I'm still coming to terms with third person plural pronouns used as a singular. I'm doing my best. Please. We can't start replacing objects with subjects.
Ruthiella So many make that mistake now, I think eventually it will find its way into accepted grammar. 🤔 (edited) 6mo

mandarchy Maybe I'm a linguistic imperialist when I wonder if it's the 🇺🇲 need to always be the subject of the sentence? 6mo

Ruthiella @mandarchy I think people think “I” sounds more correct. I hear on the job and read it in work emails from people with master degrees… 6mo
