Tom,

I am confused: could you share why and on what condition the word "their" is improper to use?

>One of the things that changed with the American form of the English language within the last 35 years is the use of the word “their”. It is thought and taught to be improper to use such a term. Therefore we must use his/her. What if I had said “he or him”? I just wanted to spread the wealth and not be sexist! :)
