In "L'un/l'une agrees in gender with the object it refers to." I respectfully suggest that "the object it refers to" be replaced with "its antecedent", which is both more concise are more accurate: pronouns do not have objectives - they have only antecedents. This may be picky, but this IS a grammar site! All's fair in love and syntax....max
