so, i'm grading a grammar worksheet. they're supposed to fill in appropriate pronouns, making sure they agree w/the verb. here's the question:

Tom shouldn't talk about ________ all the time. (reflexive)

the answer i got?

Tom shouldn't talk about sex all the time.

while this may be true, 'sex' is not a pronoun.

i giggle, and i want to cry that juniors in h.s. don't know what a pronoun is.
