Routemasters in Niagara Falls (was: Bendy bus off course)
Peter Beale ) gurgled happily, sounding much like s/he/it
was saying : "They" is used as a (slightly awkward) gender-neutral singular, rather than "he/she/it", or "s/he" or some similar godawful murdering of the language. http://www.crossmyt.com/hc/linghebr/austheir.html#X1a Interesting. However, hallowed by age though it may be, I find its use considerably uglier than "he or she" or the other alternatives you mention. But it takes all sorts.... Better? |
