Thread Name: BS: old geezer's
Subject: RE: BS: old geezer's
The first poster in this thread is a probably a fraud, and went to elementary school sometime after the Vietnam war, which is about when education went to hell.
A real old geezer went to elementary school at a time when they taught fine points of grammar and word usage, in detail. So he (applying the rule I was taught in elementary school, that the masculine singular third person personal pronoun includes both the masculine and feminine, when the actual sex of the person is involved is undeterimined, and f*** modern political correctness)would never use the possessive singular (geezer's) when he intended the plural (geezers).
