1. Use the correct forum; did you see the red message above?
2. Don't just say "I get errors". Explain exactly what you are trying to do and what results you get. Remember, we cannot see your screen display, or guess what your program may be doing.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

You're posting this in the wrong forum. 
That is as simple as I can make it.

I've been passing this person in the hallway and I swear I know them from somewhere, but I can't figure out where. I'm pretty sure I remember their name too (haven't bothered to verify it yet).
Today, they asked me if I was in one of their classes (I'm not), so they're apparently having the same problem, making it seem more likely we have met, as we clearly recognize each other.
It's driving me slightly crazy as I'm not busy so I have time to over think it.

Is this person of royal persuasion or is there more than one person? You keep referring to him or her in the plural. (them, their, they, they're...)
Or perhaps "one" of you is schizophrenic?
At least you're almost using proper grammar.

Last time I checked, those are also used as gender neutral pronouns. I felt like being ambiguous.

In that they are used for things without gender, e.g. objects, to use them to refer to people dehumanizes them and is rather rude. It is also not proper to use a plural pronoun to refer to a single individual.

It is proper use the masculine pronoun to allow ambiguity.

If you use "it" sure. Using "they" to refer to a person is generally acceptable in general use. And basically, as long as my point gets across, I don't really care it it's "proper".

But then people get butt-hurt about political correctness. And that's an argument I'd rather not waste my time on.

Fook'em. By definition, "politically correct" is incorrect.

That usage is debatable and is not strictly correct. Better to use the "normal" usage of him, he, his for gender neutral.

Yeah I hate that too. I was watching the Game of Thrones season one not too long ago and I knew I had seen the woman that played the queen before but I could not for the life of me figure out where I had seen her before. I finally broke down and look it up on IMDB and felt totally stupid that is was the woman that played Sarah Connor on the TV series.

It's even weirder when you see someone on TV that you recognize from real life. I was watching Letterman and his musical guest was on. I recognized the drummer. I learned how to play the drums with him in grade school, from the same teachers, so it was totally a mindfuck to see him on TV playing the drums.

Similar happened to me in a shop some years ago. Was with wifey buying some curtains and another chap and his wifey walked in. We started chatting and could swear we knew each other, even had friends in common. After a while we realized we hadn't met before. However, we were all buying curtains for our new houses. Next door to each other! Spooky!
