I hate the gender sensitivity in writing and speaking these days. Traditionally, when a gender-unspecified human is referenced by a pronoun the proper one to use is "he" or "him." It is not sexist, it is English. If our language must be altered to keep someone from feeling inferior then that person is inferior.
"Gift" as a verb. Nope.
Working in a park, my pet hate is "Gophers": with apologies to Minnesota's Golden variety...gopher as a catch-all for chipmunks, ground squirrels, prairie dogs, moles, voles...arrgh! The park is home to all of that list -except gophers!
"No, sir, the gopher did not eat your tent. The chipmunk did, and it's didn't so much eat your tent as chew the spilled cola out of the fabric."
Also, "lime" and "beer" in the same sentence, worse if the term "lite" is involved, too.
Gopher Lime Lite Beer - yeah, I'll pass.
