my OMG 20 YEAR OLD nephew is graduating the marines in March.  I've been reviewing the boot camp web page.

i'm not sure which i'm finding more annoying. the invisibility of female marines in the incessant male pronouns. (i know, i know) or the terrible lack of copy editing (e,g, "personal affects", "you're room", etc.) on the website.

To you? hard question. Maybe the female marines issue.

Were you Zach? easy question. The grammar.

maybe? its like i dont really expect better on the pronouns. even though the effects stab harder. but i do have higher hopes for marines to know how to handle the English language.
