Oxford Dictionary



Hi all,

This is taken from the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary (7th Edition). The definition for "someone" is "a person", but the sentence supporting this definition has a mistake: "someone's left their bag". It should be his/her instead of "their". Am I right? I have noticed that this grammatical error is widely cited in many instances throughout the Oxford dictionaries (the different editions).

Cheers,
Dhanya
