I think for me the answer is “never”. Why not name the specific role the object is playing, rather than the indirectness of personal pronouns? So, in short: you may not be the only one, but I find it difficult to imagine why anyone would be motivated to do that. -- \ “When I was born I was so surprised I couldn't talk for a year | `\ and a half.” —Gracie Allen | _o__) | Ben Finney
