@Beat - yeah I agree that we need a better gender-neutral pronoun than "they", particularly in the writing examples you mentioned. I hate reading "he/she", I get truly annoyed with that. But then again "ze", "zir" and the like also annoy the shit out of me. Basically everything annoys the shit out of me, I'm turning into a curmudgeonly old git. I think I'm channeling my Dad. I'll soon be chasing kids out of my yard, waving my cane in the air.
