For Beth

Maya Angelou said, "As soon as healing takes place, go out and heal someone else." I think this is almost right. I say, "As soon as healing takes place, go out and help someone else heal herself."

Himself? Zir self?

I have it on the authority of several professional grammarians that using the plural in this case is proper and *much* better than the 'himself/herself' or 'zirself' monstrosities. So, "help someone else heal themselves" would be proper.
