Avoid swearing... Let your yes be yes and your no be no..
Matthew 5: KJV
33 "¶ Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: {34} But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne: {35} Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. {36} Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. {37} But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil."
Yeah, a grammar nazi would never mix plural and singular case.
I used "They" as an androgyneous term, though...not necessarily plural. :/
"I swear" as a colloquialism does not trespass on this scripture.
Example: "I swear, scripture nazis are almost as irritating as grammar nazis."
Actually that is something I have been wondering about for some time. What IS appropriate third person singular for an unspecified person? "He" used to be used, but now it is not politically correct as it discriminates against women. "They" is plural, "He/she" is awkward and "It" is completely inappropriate.
What have the PC police declared acceptable for third person singular nonspecific? They took away "he" but didn't give us anything else to use.

This has become a very educational thread.
I checked the usage of prototypical they:
Though the "singular they" permits a singular antecedent, it is used with a plural verb form.[SUP][3]

They is the accepted term, or he/she. I find both of them to be incorrect, so just use “he” and let the chips fall where they may.

I thought the movie was drek. Of course, I was a teenager at the time when I saw it on video. My mom told us it was so romantic and we would love it. My sisters and I did not love it and thought it was a terrible 70s movie. My opinion may change if I see it again as an adult.
Telling someone you are sorry takes a lot of humility and vulnerability. It is a willingness to bear blame. I have had to say I am sorry and ask forgiveness of students when I jump to conclusions or am too harsh. It is a humbling thing to have to do, but I love them and don’t want them to be unduly upset.

I beleive that quote is right...what they mean is love means not ever hurting the one u love because saying sorry means you hurt them or did them wrong so by saying love means never having to say sorry means that you don't hurt the one u love wrong the one u love hence ner having to say sorry....it's a beautiful quote

I don’t know how old you are, but it is absurd to think you will never hurt the one you love. It is inevitable. Most of the time, it is not even intentional. Let us say your girlfriend or wife gets a new haircut. You don’t notice. Her feelings are hurt, you certainly did not mean to hurt her- but there it is. You then tell her that you are sorry and you love her and you did not mean to hurt her with your inattention. The only person who never hurts is God. If you will only love someone you won’t hurt or who won’t hurt you- you will never be in love. You have to be vulnerable enough to be willing to be hurt and know you will cause hurt.
