My grandfather and his buddies went to draw ordinance for the day. Some captain told them to forget about it, we're not killing anyone this morning, the war will be over at 11am.

You know this must be a generational BQ thing. I received a thank you letter for his scholarship from a current fish in the FTAB. It has two or three grammatical errors .which I was going to call his attention. I think I'll let that go. as I'm sure he would appreciate that almost as much as I appreciate your attention to detail.

ja86. You're correct, as I understand it, many of the big guns fired right up to 11am.

I'm a corporate recruiter and review thousands of resumes and letters every year, and correct grammatical errors as necessary.

You should contact that fish and advise them about the grammatical errors, because it will benefit them in the long run.

You are not recruiting here, but you are doing something else.

Upon further review and keeping in mind free advice is generally worth what you pay for it, I'm going to take you up on your suggestion, Now, I have a question for you. Instead of the word "them" should that not read "him or her".?

Please note that sound you hear in the distance is the derail the thread police coming after us.

You are correct!!

Them is plural. I believe AP still says it should be "him" if the sex of the person is unknown. But in today's society, you might want to say "him or her".
