Change of Pronoun.[60]—In referring to the same person or thing a writer should not change from one pronoun to another.
The possessive of "one" is "one's" (not "his"), except in such expressions as "every one," "no one," "many a one." The reflexive is "one's self."
It is a common but serious fault to begin to write in the third person, and then to change to the first or second.
