Are there no more editors and proof readers in the media?


There is nothing wrong with that statement, they were referring to the luck of it, not the literal sense.

Sure there’s something wrong with the statement. The writer used “their”, when it should have been “there.”

Should have read “we are lucky one person got out of there alive.”

>>“.....we are lucky one person got out of their alive,”<<

The poster was refering to the word “their”
The sentance should read

We are lucky one person got out of ‘there’ alive.

See?

How do YOU spell THERE? I sure don't spell it that way.
