When talking about something that could be either gender, do you use...
He/she, he, or they?
Technically, as far as I know, they isn't correct, so I try to avoid it when I'm writing a paper. Usually, I use he because it sounds much better than he/she, but this year my extremely feminist teacher almost failed me when I did that, so I stopped.
What do you use?
-
I try to use he or she, him or her, etc., but it's pretty easy to slip into either saying "they" or forming a mental image based on experience and using it. Like if I'm talking about nurses, almost every nurse I've ever had was female, so I'll start saying "she" without thinking about it.
