‘Everyone has their passports.’


This is grammatically incorrect. "Everyone" is singular. The correct pronoun should be "his or her."

So...

Everyone has his or her passport.

Now, literal meaning? Each individual has a group's passports. For instance, "Everyone" could be a room full of TSA agents that has a group of travelers' passports.

My head hurts.
