I tried to educate the engineers at my company with very little success.
That construction seems to be permanently ensconced in the engineering and
business idiom. Here's what I used -- hope it helps.

I have a pet peeve with reports that continually use it, it, it!

I'm looking on the web for good examples for avoiding the usage of this
pronoun; however, finding hits on wordiness and overuse of it can confuse
the search engines.

Does anyone have any good links for me to distribute to my scientific
co-workers?

Thanks in advance,
Karen
