In reply to:May I humbly suggest a style problem in the poster's first sentence. One....sent....their paper.
I guess you mean the apparent disagreement between the singular "one" and the plural "their." We had a long discussion on this awhile back, concerning the use of "their" as a gender-neutral, singular pronoun alongside "his" and "her." Anyone have that link?
