He made a statement and you used his stats to then justify the "they" and "their" plural to your statement. You must find more that one persons stats to justify ...
I'm sure I could, given time. But this comes down to figures of speech, which differ between the UK/US. You won't have heard of an excellent TV series in Britain called "Boys from the Black Stuff", which immortalised the phrase "Giz a job" - abbreviation for "Give us a job". The gentleman who said it only wanted a job for himself and no-one else, but "us" instead of "me" is a common figure of speech. Also they/their is often used when gender is not known, and does not always signify plurality of the subject. "The person withheld their number" is the message I get on my phone if someone calls from a withheld number. In America, the passive voice might be used, ie. "the number was withheld"  - better, IMO. So I stand by my use of they/their, because Morpheus could be a woman for all I know. ;)

Hehe, sorry for the English lesson, but what else is there to do on a wet Sunday afto when a silly small map is up in the MA.

I hear many people refer to the small maps as the furball maps. Why else would the furballers whine about the large maps like pizza & BI and clamour for the small maps?

Still, we're in agreement  about the small maps. They ought to be retired. And I'm all for balance if it really is balance you mean.
