Everyone...their Is it correct to say, "Everyone brought their partner to the party."?

Re: Everyone...their I think partner should be plural partners. Originally Posted by hdrao

Re: Everyone...their "Everyone" is singular so strictly speaking your sentence is incorrect. The most correct sentence would be with 'his or her partner', but this is a bit cumbersome so people usually say 'Everyone brought their partner to the party.'
If you say 'partners', it sounds like each person may have more than one partner.
