"Their" is no longer acceptable? Its now gender specific? Wow, how did that one get by me? Whats the new word?

Sorry to pepper you with so many questions...

'ditz' may be gender specific. I think only women can be ditzes...

'em is okay. And, if ya don't know, "their" used to be acceptable for usage when the gender wasn't specific. That would clear some stuff up, huh?

I still use it some times. When did it become unacceptable?

Tim
