I am annoyed by writers who fail to use a singular pronoun with a singular subject.
Example - Every student should brush up on their grammar.

Every student should brush up on their grammarThis is officially (as in politically) correct in order to avoid ever using his, him, her, hers in this brave new world of zero distinction between the sexes. As the PC People more and more dictate English usage the third person will become the universal pronoun.
