This is a question Irrational Hatred

People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

Anyone who uses "them" as a third-person singular noun needs to die.
"Them" is plural, not singular. Use "him or her" instead. It might take fractionally longer to say or type, but it doesn't piss me off.

Sorry, gotta disagree with you
but in the current climate of political correctness, it is often necessary to use they instead of he/her, as it sidesteps the issue of gender assumption.

^ Have to agree
Especially if you want to mix it up rather than inserting him/her or he/she them or they is the best way to to refer to erm, them.
