It's a great neutral pronoun, but it can sound like you are referring to multiple people depending on how you use it.

Yeah we need a dedicated genderless singular third-person pronoun.

The only thing that comes to mind is "it" but that tends to dehumanize people.

I wish we could just manually change english. Forget all gendered pronouns because they shouldn't even need to specify. Just animate/inanimate singular/plural.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
