What is grammatically wrong with the following sentence?

Please see my answer to your last post. Note in this sentence there are two pronoun errors.

We'll be glad to check your answer.

It would be better here to change the subject noun than to change the pronouns.

So would I change it to the following:
The word someone is singular. Therefore you would change they’re to he or she.
Answered by Ms. Sue
You could do it that way -- but Guru's suggestion is better and not as awkward. Change <i>someone</i> to a plural pronoun.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Or a plural noun.
