Way back when, i was taught that when speaking of mixed-gender groups, masculine gender prevailed, as in “Everybody is wearing his raincoat.” Now, I assume it is correct to say “Everybody is wearing their raincoat.” Oh, wait a minute; that too is incorrect. We hardly get any rain here for now, so “ain’t nobody wearin’ no raincoat !!”
