Pronoun antecedent

Editor's Notes

  1. Pronoun-antecedent agreement (or should I say “disagreement”) is a pet peeve of mine. I can’t help myself: when I see it, I want to mark it, and I see it a lot on most freshmen’s papers. My purpose here is to explain the error to you so that you can attempt to identify it and eliminate it from your own writing.
