Pah, I've been rejected !  I must admit  as you may have noticed in my previous posts that typing is not my best attribute (what is I'm not sure,  comedic drunkness probably doesn't count as an attribute).
I hope my scientific writing is better, mind you my supervisor laughed at my misspelling of Throne as thown today, ugh.

Any ways, in other news I

Aww, don't cry, will be just typos and stuff. I'll try and get the beta'd (is that right? paranoid now, lol!) version to you by the end of tomorrow xx.

Yup. "Everyone" is singular. Has to be "his hand" or "her hand". The problem here is the English language which has no gender UNspecific singular pronoun for just this case.

Because of that lack, one has to say "in his or her hand" to be correct and that just sucks. So while "their" is grammatically wrong, I think it beats the correct usage and I do use "their" (when no English teacher is going to read it).

I freely confess that my grammar sucks. I did better at latin and french than english language at school!
I'm happy now I have someone who knows what they're doing helping anyway.
