    I'm not a PC type, I can't be bothered with all that he/she/xe stuff, to me "he" is a generic for humans, like "it" is a generic for animals or "man" is a generic for humans. And you're probably right about the 95% male thing here anyway. 🙂

    Without lookig at the earlier post in this thread (which perhaps I should have done), I just would mention that there is a new word in Swedish - 'hen' - which is neutral. When you are not referring to 'han' or 'hon' (he or she), the word 'hen' is practical to use, but it hasn't been commonly accepted so far. Instead of using 'han/hon', just say 'hen'... 🙂




    Some edits were necessary in this post - it's after midnight and a few glasses of wine...

    I thought I'd try to even it up a bit by thumbing some posts up 😉
