 Re: take the bull by its horns
1. If someone is arrested for a crime, then he should have a fair trial.
2. If someone is arrested for a crime, then he or she should have a fair trial.
3. If someone is arrested for a crime, then he/she should have a fair trial.
4. If someone is arrested for a crime, then they should have a fair trial.
Actually, I don't mind sentence 3. Sentence 4 still doesn't sound right to me but at least it doesn't sound as bad as
we mean that the person we are talking about tackles their problems directly and is not worried about any risks involved.
Can't we say 'we mean that the persons we are talking about tackle their problems directly and are not worried about any risks involved.'? |
