REVISING PROBLEM:
The writer of a sentence always knows what a given pronoun refers to,
thus writers are unlikely to notice possible misinterpretations when re-reading
their own writing.

The pronoun "they" is three-ways ambiguous in the following example.
After reviewing the team's
recommendations, |
the committee decided that
they
needed to do more work. |
. . . , |
