[quote=Anonymous]I work in an industry that involves writing about businesses and I hate when someone uses the pronoun "they" instead of "it." I also hate when people put the periods and commas outside the quotation marks instead of inside. In the sentence above, more than half of the people with whom I work would have incorrectly ended the sentence with "it". These are small things; I have no idea why they bug me. Even so, I would never correct someone unless it is an important because I also hate when people spend their time correcting other people's perfectly understandable grammar in casual contexts.[/quote]
