Re: question on pronoun debate

["Lisa Bronson" <Lisa -dot- Bronson -at- ipaper -dot- com>]

Rebekah asks:  "how would any of you improve this sentence and aviod using
"their" and "they"?

 "Whoever is elected President of Peru, he or she will have their work
 cut out for them."
</snip>


How about "I have one thing to say to whoever is elected President of Peru:
'You have your work cut out for you!'"

or

"Whoever is elected President of Peru will definitely have a lot of work to
do."
