If my boyfriend followed everything on this list he'd get lucky whenever he wanted (I would also suspect that he is a robot).

Joke. Problems in singular/plural/non-pedantic are driving everyone crazy. (And for what it's worth I worked my way through school as a production editor). Classic editing rule that "the masculine embraces the feminine" (no, I'm not making this up) is no longer useful. Problem in choosing proper tense, when no solution actually worked, generated potentially comic interpretation. Joke. Please. I don't think you're drinking enough. Joke, children. Joke.

Our readership consists of women AND men whose partner(s) could be men OR women, so we like the inclusiveness of "them." We're not the only ones who take this approach, so we're hopeful the grammatical rules around this are relaxing.
