Today, I was waiting for a guy to get on the all party button and he was taking a looonngg time. So I typed in /impatient... and it came up as this:
"Flamearc taps THEIR foot impatiently" What? Do all the knights suffer from DID?

Well, say it like hotel receptionists do.

"Mr and Ms Lightning? how are they?"

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

So...

Every knight is composed of two people, then?

"Their" does not have to connote more than one of something.

I know this because Fehzor knows this.

This is a method of using their to express possession without the addition of gender, this way they don't require a gender identity... Which makes the knights gender neutral. This does not reflect on the psyche of the knights in any way, shape or form. To say so is to be reading far too much into an extremely small amount of sentence usage, which really isn't reflected upon too well until basically college in the US. No child left behind, no child let ahead either.
