wtf?
From document I just proofread:
Employee observed consuming wild berries growing within CA2
An employee was walking to lunch from Controlled Area 2 (CA2) when they witnessed another employee picking and eating wild raspberries from the side of the road next to Building 200 (inside CA2).

they = plural
i know it's somewhat acceptable in common parlance to use the third person plural as a gender-neutral third person singular pronoun, but it just drives me nuts. not that the alternatives roll off the tongue (just how *do* you pronounce "s/he"?), but i have strange ticks.
i'm not a grammar nazi, as evidenced by my difficulties with capitalization (i'm selectively lazy); i will, however, spread for a man who knows how to use adverbs!
