Quote by: Chancellor  The third person singlular male pronouns (he, his) is also used as the generic third person singular male pronoun and there's nothing wrong with that - except in the minds of feminists and sissies who fight to do away with anything overtly male in society. Of course, if a person is going to be insistent on avoiding the use of the third person singular male pronouns, the word "one" sometimes serves as a suitable alternative. |
Yes, I often dislike having to write he/she all the time. But now, it's grammatical convention, so if you don't write "he or she," you'd lose points on an essay or paper. :(
