Special Pleading reversion

Jump to: navigation, search

Hi! You recently reverted my edit on Special Pleading. The sentence in question alternated between "s/he" and "he" referring to the same person. I changed it to "she" for the whole example, in order to fix the inconsistency and also because "s/he" is ungrammatical. But I'm new here, and "s/he" may be RationalWiki style (though I'm not sure I've seen it in other articles.) Even so, the example sentence should use the same pronoun throughout. Mind discussing on the Special pleading talk page?

Personally, I hate s/he as much as I hate Y/you and W/we notation. English does have non-gendered pronouns in the form of "they" and "their".

Friendly.

PeterL changed it to "their", which is probably for the best.
