I only have one problem with that:
Mike has been guilty of a bunch of "new grammar" himself.
Just ask him about pronoun usage as it refers to man, women, and persons of
unknown and/or unspecified gender - then 1) ignore the incoming flame from
Mark Ethan Smith, and 2) watch Michael turn the correct and accepted rules
of pronoun use upside down in his attempt to justify the application of male
pronouns to Smith!
