I have a pet peeve with reports that continually use it, it, it!

I'm looking on the web for good examples for avoiding the usage of this pronoun; however, finding hits on wordiness and overuse of it can confuse the search engines.

Does anyone have any good links for me to distribute to my scientific co-workers?

Thanks in advance,
Karen
