Oh how I suffered when gender pronouns went cablooey. This, despite my sympathy for the folks who were abandoning the pronouns assigned to them at birth. Pronoun agreement was just another form of gender bullying, it seems. But oh so hard to abandon the lifetime quest (with some grammar nazi shaming) for clarity and agreement!
Margie peppers me with un-linked pronouns, too. I wonder if she has an evil twin I haven’t met. It’s work to understand such people. Why do they relax their communication skills and evoke facial expressions of puzzlement to which they then take offense? Thanks for letting me know that I am not a lone sufferer.

I like to consider myself a grammar angel. One of those avenging angels, but still an angel.

We have been married almost 42 1/2 years. Just sometimes it seems longer. 😂
A good marriage includes deft factchecking.
Sounds like a case of she said she said
Who said what, Dear?
Stop bickering you two. You're upsetting the children.
