Why do you think that "he" is more likely? It just so happens that approximately half of the humans are female and approximately half of the humans are male (and even if it were ''likely'', then it would still be incorrect to act as if it were definite), and we aren't even talking about humans. "They" and "Their" and "Them" and "Themself" don't work because they are plural. I think "he/she" looks more professional than "he or she" actually.

Actually, "They/Their/etc." are perfectly acceptable to refer to a singular entity or person while remaining gender-neutral. Hence why I suggested it in the first place. =P --[[User:~Qloof234|~Qloof234]] 11:01, 6 June 2011 (CDT) | |||
