      People make mistakes with pronouns constantly, as pronouns are not “exact” and are themselves placeholders, an approximation for the subject to avoid nearly constant repetition.

      Once you start correcting the pronouns of others, you make conversations about anything else virtually impossible. It’s the destroyer of many threads, done purposefully or not.

      As they say in linguistics, just go with it; only then will you get to THE SUBJECT itself
