Miku: I don't mean dancing, I just mean moving. Like...swaying a little, or tapping your foot. It wasn't dance music. >.<;
Jack: Tool. ^_^

Most people haven't heard of the Bravery so I'm surprised you've heard of them Iko, but why don't you like them?
I love concerts! The whole squished-together-near-moshing does get a little tiring, but it's worth it...the beer spilled on me is debatable though... stressed

-Puts them on so she can remember.-
Actually, I like the song 'An Honest Mistake'.
Well...they're alright, just not really my sort of thing.
It is, as usual, my sister's music. Probably a support band at a concert she went to years ago...

Ah good. ^_^
And yes, you can. It's accepted as correct.
EDIT: Oh, but I'm not sure it works in all situations...maybe Mousy could help on this one...

She's not a rat! gonk
It doesn't work in all situations, but I can't quite explain when it's acceptable. It's just one of those things I've learnt subconsciously.

Yeah, I know. It's like when you have to explain a word you've used all your life, and you don't know how because you haven't really thought about it.
Been there, done that.
It's also like explaining smileys for your mother. I mean smile is easy but what about ninja ? Or o_O or o_x or x_X or :3

Their is acceptable in most cases.
I can't think of one where it isn't.
I usually always say "their" if I don't know what gender the person is, or rather don't have any clue.
And why am I a tool now Iko?
No one mentioned a concert that had no one standing still.
I said I don't like standing there with those people around me.
Because it was before the band that I went for got on stage and I didn't know the opening band or whatever.
And then when the one I went to see got on I wasn't about to start dancing to it or anything like running around. I kinda made my way to the back and onto the stands to sit and listen so I didn't have to listen to the people singing along and ruining it.
...If only for one weekend.

'He is going to get his dog.' Cannor be re-written as 'he is going to get their dog', since that would imply plural ownership of the dog.
I MAKE UNRELATED COMMENTS! GET USED TO IT!
Tool is the name of the band.

Mikusagi It's also like explaining smileys for your mother. I mean smile is easy but what about ninja ? Or o_O or o_x or x_X or :3 I always want to use gaia smileys outside of gaia...but no one outside of gaia will know what *sweat* means...at least, not the people I talk to online outside of gaia, and it would take far too long to explain...*sighs*

Hey... in Cantonese, both rats and mice are called "老鼠", but I still know the difference between the two! xd About the "singular they" issue: the use of "they" to refer to a singular antecedent of unknown gender instead of using "he or she" is commonly accepted. According to the Grammar Girl podcast, it is recommended in the Random House Dictionary and Fowler's Modern English Usage. However, note that some people do disagree with it, and if you're writing something for a really formal situation, you might want to avoid it. Mikusagi Yeah, I know. It's like when you have to explain a word you've used all your life, and you don't know how because you haven't really thought about it.
Been there, done that.
It's also like explaining smileys for your mother. I mean smile is easy but what about ninja ? Or o_O or o_x or x_X or :3 I often have to explain English for my father (and occasionally other relatives at family gatherings). It isn't easy even if I know the English words. (It's not really practical to tell him to look in a dictionary when we're having dinner in a restaurant either.) Then again... it's my place in the family to explain just about anything. That's before I even started studying linguistics. (This is the one subject I chose just because I like it. Helping out has nothing to do with why I chose it.)
