Oh dear. The usually-literate Grauniad is having pronoun problems. As I write, the home page for the excellent G2 mag section cute half-size pullout thingy (yes I know, but what do you call it?) has a taster (or stinger or peeler or dipper or quango or whatever they call it) for a story, thus:
Last Sunday, children's TV presenter Mark Speight was found dead in Paddington station. Jay Burridge, a friend, describes the joker he knew, the haunted recluse he became - and his reaction to his suicide
- and the story itself has a similar header paragraph thingy:
Here, Jay Burridge, a friend he was due to meet on the day he disappeared, describes the joker he knew, the haunted recluse he became - and his reaction to the terrible news of his suicide
Too many hes and hises. Messy. 4/10 see me.
