Like if I would give tips about something, I could write "one could also do this and that". I like that form because I do not want to say that you, who are reading this now, could do this, but that my tip is a option for someone.<br /><br />I'm not a huge fan of the s/he compared to the Finnish version, but that is the best option. And who wouldn't want to appear academic :D<br /><br />Thank you Alana about the language lesson, it's marvelous how much my English has enhanced while writing the blog. Not only grammar, but my vocabulary has expanded remarkably. onshorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10217237226866880177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8877624096544665868.post-55792317719204021492013-05-17T07:31:11.310+03:002013-05-17T07:31:11.310+03:00Very sweet.
People tend to use the plural pronoun...Very sweet.<br /><br />People tend to use the plural pronoun "they" when they want to say "he or she" or "theirs" when they want to say "his or hers." AS in "I knit socks for the kid. If they are anything like me, they will have cold feet. I hope their calves won't be very big." It is terribly, horribly absolutely gramatically incorrect--and usually only shows up when people are speaking. (Never, never write it on your blog!) But I thought you'd like to know.<br /><br />The pronoun "one" is gender neutral but very formal. Almost no one ever uses it. And it really doesn't substitute well for "he or she." At one point I did see some academics write s/he as a short form for "he or she" but it never really caught on. But you could try that.Alana in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440969357242099169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8877624096544665868.post-23053208899935210632013-05-15T13:56:48.554+03:002013-05-15T13:56:48.554+03:00Oh thank you Max.
