Subject: Re: I counted over a hundred in a quick survey of posts by Jules. He'll have a hundred excuses for his use of the word "she" but still, he (opps) used the same word to which he is now objecting.

(V): Nonsense. The antecedent was clear in the context of the discussion. Therefore the use of the word "she" was not only proper but its use is more common than is the restating of the antecedent. That's why we have rules for pronoun antecedent. When the antecedent is clear, the pronoun is almost always used.

But enlighten us, show us where this is the case and also defend your own use of the word "she" where several hundred times you yourself used that exact pronoun.
