Each writer has their own distinct style

When it comes to Yahoo! Shine, each writer has her own distinct style. And it usually involves one or more grammatical transgressions, like this:

their own shine

That pronoun refers to city (city is the pronoun’s antecedent). It’s a singular noun that takes a singular pronoun; in this case, its, not their.

But of course that’s not the only goof in the article. There’s this one, too:

pared with shine

A homophonic horror, paired with the grammatical gaffe, is the hallmark of this writer.

    This is taking pronoun confusion to a new level.
