Why Can't Republicans Teach Their Children How To Speak?

By Baxter

We cats are always thrilled when we see fellow mavens crusading on social media for good grammar. And when they strike a blow against spelling-challenged gay haters at the same time? Ahhh, heaven.

Thus inspired, we can't let Baby Marco Rubio's latest horrifying gaffe go uncorrected. Here is a statement he issued after firing Clint Reed, his chief of staff, for improper office conduct. Reed, Baby Marco said, "had violated office policies regarding proper relations between a supervisor and their subordinates."

Honestly, Baby Marco? "A" supervisor? "Their" subordinates? Is it really so hard to come up with an agreeing possessive pronoun?

For the record, Senator Grammar Fail, you have two choices:

• Reed "had violated office policies regarding proper relations between a supervisor and his or her subordinates."
• Reed "had violated office policies regarding proper relations between supervisors and their subordinates."

We won't even mention Baby Marco's later use of "impact" as a verb. We cats HISS.
