He v. She
DanielBMarkham: He is the traditional gender-neutral pronoun.If you care about being denounced as sexist, you can make your writing do weird things, like s/he.If you're tired of being told how to think, just go with he. It worked for Shakespeare. It can work for you too.I find myself using "you" a lot when "he" would be much better. In my opinion, it lowers the quality of the material. Likewise, some authors want to impress you with their sensitivity and alternate between he and she. This I find particularly annoying, for I could care less the sex of a gender-neutral example. I find it distracting. The s/he thing is so far out there as to elicit a little pat on the head and a warm smile (as you would do to small children) to anyone who finds it useful.Sorry -- pet peeve of mine.
