Moments ago I came across this example of pronoun/antecedent agreement on a web ad for Intel.
Your kid’s PC is everything to them. Get the right one.
The corrected version is: Your kids’ PC is everything to them. This version makes sure the antecedent (kids’) is plural (and possessive) to match the pronoun (them). Of course, you could also correct the sentence in this way: Your kid’s PC is everything to her (assuming you know the gender of your own child :-)).
