(6,810 posts)The personal pronoun "them" can reference a singular individual when gender is unknown or otherwise not being given, in addition to referring to more than one person. The poster's reaction to your post was likely a matter of misunderstanding of your intent.

(6,810 posts)I'm sure there are more than a few accounts that are used by more than one person for whatever reason. How about you take a step back from your post and rethink it before attacking the poster asking a simple innocent question.

(30,777 posts)It is not about grammar. It is not about snark. Your response is no more welcome than diva77's response.
I expressed concern about Warpy's well-being. What the hell is wrong with you people?
