His or her -- One issue requires clarification. A number of items point out that it is incorrect to use a construction such as "Everybody should bring their book to class."
The AP Stylebook indicates that, in such situations, you should use "his" rather than "his or her." Thus, it is AP style to write, "Everybody should bring his book to class."
In a number of the exercises in Newsroom101.Com, we have made "his or her" the correct choice out of deference to recent decades of effort in reducing sexist language. It is important to note that AP requires the simpler term "his."
