Lately I've been in a position to hear more rumors around the law school, mainly about me. I've learned all sorts of things about myself that I didn't know before I heard the rumors. Some of them are funny, but others are borderline offensive. I think I preferred not having any idea what's going on around here. This isn't the kind of self-discovery I'm not a big fan of.
On another note, I have discovered a writing pet peeve of mine: misuse of 'they' and 'their.' I see them used a lot to refer to singular things, like people or entities. But they aren't singular, they're plural. A company is not 'they,' a court is not 'they,' and a plaintiff is certainly not 'they.' I know a lot of people try to use them to get around gendered writing, but that's not a good way to do it.
