RE: hisself/herself was: Managing Password

The thing I've been thinking about with all this "grammar" discussion is
how well Luis communicates in English, that not being his primary
language. My only Spanish is, "Me espanol es muy malo..." SUPER job
Luis!!!

RE: hisself/herself was: Managing Password

Technically speaking in plurals about a singular object (or is it
subject, now I forget) is not the grammatically correct answer, though
it is somewhat common.
Oneself would be appropriate.

Re:  PC - speak in plurals.  Instead of worrying about himself or 
herself, use themselves.

We already use the QSYCHGPW API so the user can change the password by

himself (or herself... Not being a native English speaker all this PC 
way of writing sometimes drive me nuts. Maybe I'll just use "it" when 
talking about a user
:-) )
