He said, she said

[GreatLemur]

This is a somewhat flawed poll...

Highly flawed poll. Why is the option currently in place, alternating pronouns between paragraphs when no specific character is referenced, not listed? I quite like that approach & will save my vote for that on a corrected poll.

 

[takasi]

The poll's not flawed. If you had to pick between one or the other, which would you pick?

Don't like the poll? Don't vote.

I'm offended that "it" wasn't even given an option.

 

[delericho]

A mixture, like in 3e, would be good (I didn't vote).

Agreed.

 

[GoodKingJayIII]

It really doesn't matter. But for the record, I think every 4E book should use the gender-neutral fugax pronoun.

 

[Festivus]

Marklar picked up Marklars Marklar and Marklarred the Marklar into little Marklar.

It's good to see that there are other marklars who like to watch marklar... especially while playing marklar.

MY vote is for continued following of the iconics.

Will the generic pronoun in 4E be he or she?

This is a different question than you asked in the poll.

For this question, I think the answer is "she". If it is "she", guys won't care and some girls will think it's cool that woman are considered equals in the game. If it is "he", guys still won't care, but some girls will think it is sexist that "he" is used. So, I think they will use "she" to offend the least number of people.

"He said, she said"

It looks like the name of a romantic sitcom movie.

I would always choose grammar before politics (especially on this board, where discussion of the latter is verboten! ), so I would say "he."

With that said, I hope the examples will use characters of mixed genders as they have in 3x. And keep Lidda!
