Editing Nightmare

    It's bad enough that "proper grammar" now endorses the use of a plural antecedent to a singular noun, as in "The person fell and hit their head."  OK, I get it. And I know sometimes that the deceased sometimes pre-write their own obituaries.(Of course they'd be pre-written, wouldn't they?) I have not, but I know some who have done so. I don't know  who wrote the obit in today's paper, but I hope they don't say in mine:  "She was superseded by her parents."
       Supersede---predecease----who cares?
