frozenshock 08/22/17 8:32:01 PM #10:	Captain_Qwark posted... I've always just used "they" who taught you to always say "he" in every random generic situation? I was taught that 'he' was the pronoun to use when the gender if the person is unknown (aka, a random generic person) It's the same in many languages actually. But then... http://www.learnersdictionary.com/qa/the-he-or-she-dilemma About 30 years ago, some people began objecting to the use of he in this way, saying that it did not include women and was sexist. So some people began to use he or she and him or her instead of he. The main problem with this construction is that it can be very awkward ("If the student wants a copy of his or her transcript, he or she should go to the Registrar's Office.") or its use is inconsistent within the same sentence ("If the student wants a copy of his or her transcript, they should go to the Registrar's Office."). To try to make it less awkward, writers sometimes use the shortened forms s/he for "she or he" or him/her for "him or her." This is not as awkward in writing, but it can still be awkward in spoken English. --- I don't hate people, people hate me. <cite>frozenshock posted [p:885267672] in Political ...

It was considered correct in the 14th century, but it was practically phased out in the 19th century. While some cling to it, doing so is like using "ain't" in a proper environment. Wrong: "Somebody left their keys." (Politically) Correct: "Somebody left his or her keys." Classic Correct: "Somebody left his keys." It's like saying it's insensitive to say "policeman" or "fireman."</quote> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they Bzzzzzt wrong. Shut the fuck up.</quote> rofl. Southcoast getting owned again.

I remember some super annoying lady once when I was working at a local grocery store...I opened up a register and said "I can help some of you guys over here", and a lady said something like "I'm not a GUY, you know".
