It might be possible to automate this-- if you're commenting to someone, pronouns which don't match their preferences are marked as spelling errors or (if wanted) autocorrected.
I don't know whether this is worth the trouble to program, but it' would be kind of cool.
That seems much too hard - pronouns are used in all sorts of contexts; how would it determine who (whether the author of the parent, the OP, or - more likely - nobody who wrote a comment here at all, in which case it has no reference) is being referred to?
You're right.
