"...the sacred bond of trust between a lawyer and their client"

Good God, is there anyone left who knows how to write and speak the English language?

It’s sad to say, but there are very few.

I see what you mean!

How could the words “trust” and “lawyer” appear together in a valid sentence??!? :-)

It’s the ‘PC-ization’ of the language at work again. I recently proofed a contract that used ‘that person’ in place of ‘his’. It did so in a clause that referred to more than one person, thereby turning an easily interpreted sentence into one that created an ambiguity as to who the contract applied to. Political correctness will be the death of us all.

...or... um... “as to whom it applied”...

People don't want to seem sexist by using "he". I've told people that I'm a guy and I'll use "he" to indicate the unspecified third person. If someone wants to use "she" and sound dopey, that's okay.

It gets worse.

English will be watered down to txt msg. only.
