What is the deal with people writing things like ’said bill has been stuck in committee since last September’ or ’said roomate has been exhibiting general whininess’ in contexts where it’s absolutely clear which bill or roomate is being referred to? THE bill, THE roomate or even better, just use he, she or it when there’s no question. Sorry to single anyone out as a target of a rant, but it’s really baffling me how this got started and why it didn’t whither on the vine soon after said start.
Update: Couldn’t think of a good title for this post until now. It’s still pretty lame though, I know.
