Subject:Avoiding the he/she/they problem From:Jean Weber <jean_weber -at- COMPUSERVE -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 15 Aug 1997 02:02:01 -0400
I came in late on this discussion, but thought some of you
might be interested in my papers on the subject of writing
to avoid the he/she/they problem -- without offending
anyone's idea of what's "correct" English.
I welcome other examples of creative solutions. (In the years
since I wrote those papers, I've collected quite a few.)
