yeah, I learned that in my spanish class, there are even masculine and feminine forms for objects right? I agree English is kinda confusing. Pkmnfn, do you and Mochi make banners out of gifs too?
Well, yes "them" is generally used for more than one person, but when you don't know a person's gender it's a good way to refer to a person, otherwise you could use their name, unless you don't know that either.
