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?

"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.

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.

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.
